I didn't see the golden koi in your pics. ☹️ It was very prominent when I went last.

Funny also to me is how long this has been here, but still when two people go there, everything is different due to time of year, people's perspective, and cultural knowledge. For example, I've never gotten a fortune (except for when it is in a cookie).

Neat stuff, look forward to the other parts.

Side note: How did you get the line on the left side of the paragraph that starts "The legend says that in the year 628..."
