The Pill That Cures

Written in my new Kyoto local guide book, "Matsuo Shrine has more than 3000 yellow Japanese rose planted......" Wow..

But from my observation around the shrine inner and outer compounds, my number just couldn't agree with the number the guide book (even the shrine pamphlet) has claimed.
Not that I actually counted the number of Japanese rose, but there was no "abundance feel" or "volume feel" I was expecting for 3000 nos.

Nevertheless, this channel running outside the temple main compound has a scenic view to offer.
