One of the most amazing aspects of Japan is finding something beautiful hidden in the mundane. As we were walking home from a walk, we found this Buddhist temple tucked into a random neighborhood.
This is a shot of the street leading up to the temple - you can see it at the far end.
I'm not sure how the construction affects meditation. Maybe the monks try to time drum beats to the sound of the bulldozer hitting the ground. Or maybe the occasional epithet from a construction worker rhymes with a mantra.
