[jules' pics] Haguro-san
In Japan, shrines are Shinto and temples are Buddhist. While Zuigan-ji is thoroughly let's zen (rinzai sect - same as the much posted about Zuisenji in Kamakura) the templey shrine on Haguro-san was built at the time when someone influential decided that Shinto gods were cool for Buddhists too. Later on the templey shrines and shriny temples were re-segregated, so I suppose that the shrine on Haguro-san is now officially Shinto. It still has a flavour of Buddhism about it - most obviously in the Shojin-ryori-ish nature of the food served at the hostel.
Breakfast...
is followed by a walk round the shrine.

No rice or miso soup?
Not even a bacon sandwich?
Oh, the rice and miso was brought out separately (being hot), this was what we were faced with when we walked into the room.
