The Gate to Bodaiji Temple @ Osoresan

Bodaiji Temple, run by the Soto Zen sect, is built around a number of volcanic cauldrons (literally "hells"), bubbling in all sorts of unnatural shades from canary yellow to blood red. There are also many, many offerings to the souls of the dead scattered around the area, including tiny Jizo statues wearing bibs and piles of pebbles built by the souls of children who died before their parents.
