⛩ Yasaka Koshin-do, also known at the Three Wise ⛩ Yasaka Koshin-do, also known at the Three Wise Monkeys Temple. They represent the Koshin faith.
In Koshin belief, Koshin-san is thought to help all those who strive in their livings, with all their efforts to be good persons.
🎨 The colorful "decorations" are little monkeys hung there by the people visiting the temple. You can get them at the entrance, you need to write down your wish and  the date. You wish should come true within a year. I tried and guess what! It worked!

🗻 Mount Fuji, March 2020. Traveling at the very 🗻 Mount Fuji, March 2020. Traveling at the very beginning of the pandemic was still very doable and frankly, very pleasant. Everywhere I went, I was probably the only tourist 🙈 
⛩ Here, Chureito Pagoda in Fujioshida. The pagoda is part of the Arakura Sengen Shrine and was built as a peace memorial in 1963 nearly 400 steps up the mountain from the shrines main buildings. It's even more impressive with the cherry blossoms all around! Unfortunately I was there about two weeks too early. 🤷‍♀️
