I had a 1 day layover in Japan on the way home and went into the town of Narita for a few hours to see some of the temples there. Narita is where the Tokyo airport is located outside of Tokyo. I was most interested to see how the temples there differed from those in Thailand. The outsides seemed very similar, but the inside was a bit different. Of course the Japanese Budda looks a little different from the Thai Budda, and the inside of the temple seemed a little more formal or something. Another difference were all of the Japanese lanterns that were in front of the temples. And the cemetaries that were around the templese were different as well.
