Picturesque manholes in Shimane prefecture, West Japan.
Jumping sea bream found near Miho shrine, which is the grand head shrine of Ebisu shrines belonging to Kotoshironishi (a god for fishery and business prosperity). Sea bream is a symbol of wealth that Ebisu is always holding in his arm.

I suppose Kyoto may have some outstanding manholes near sightseeing spot too, but I have less opportunity to visit and pay less attention in my town…
島根県で見かけたマンホール。
鯛は美保神社のそばのもの。美保神社は事代主（コトシロヌシ）系列の全国エビス神社の総本宮。えべっさんなのでタイである。
灯台は縁結でお馴染み出雲大社のすぐそばのもの。近くに日御碕（ひのみさき）灯台があり、「世界の歴史的灯台百選」の一つに選ばれている。
たぶん京都でも観光スポット近くには変わったマンホールがありそうな気もするけど、観光スポットってそんなに行かないし、そもそも地元ではあまり注意して見ていないんだよなあ。

One of those, “looks like something from Studio Ghibli” jobs.
Historic ryokan in Shibu Onsen, Nagano Prefecture.
One winter a few years back we were lucky enough to be able to pay a visit to Zenkoji Temple in the city of Nagano.
The temple complex veritably sprawls and is the kind of place you could spend an entire day at, and then some.
While it’s understandable that people will be drawn the temple’s Niomon gate and Honden, “main hall,” - maybe in search of the key to paradise - we can’t resist a good pagoda, and Zenkoji has a belter!
These pics are of the pagoda housing the Zenkoji History Museum, in relative terms, a fairly new addition to the Zenkoji precincts.
A FAR OUT FELINE in a HIGH TECH WORLD! From the FAR EAST ANIMATION has BECOME a SENSATION!!! >^,“,^<
