Just down the road from SCAI: The Bathhouse art gallery in Tokyo's peaceful Yanaka district, Daigyo-ji is a small, charming Buddhist temple, a nice place to just sit quietly and allow the calm atmosphere to soothe your mind.
There's an elegant wooden worship hall in the well-tended grounds, and in among the greenery you'll find a range of interesting statues, some worn and weathered, some of more recent vintage.

I came to Japan from Manchester, England in 2003, and have travelled a lot since then, around Japan and in Asia. When I'm not working, I write satire and perform stand-up comedy in and around Tokyo. Check YouTube for a taste.
