First stop: a Chinese garden

This garden is a gift from the city of Syinyou, China, the international sister city with Kawasaki.

Willow trees with yellow Autumn leaves. I have never seen them change colors.

The Back of the roofs are decorated with colorful paintings.

Entrance to the Kawasaki-Daishi Temple

One of the "Big Four Kings" guarding the temple.

This tranquility will be broken on the New Year's Day.

At a store near-by. An army of Darumas, which are believed to help realize your wishes, are ready for the New Year's sale.
