Very beautiful nature scenes TokyoStreetView, blended with some traditional Japanese architecture. I love it!

They are not 501 Jizo Statues. They are 501 Arhat (Buddhist saints) statues. Jizo is a Bodhisattva, one of the greatest ones, and has many forms, but usually appears as a monk holding a staff and a wish granting jewel. The Arhats are monks who achieved Nirvana with help from the Buddha.
