Bicycle Parking Sign Tenryuji Temple Kyoto

Tenryuji Temple sign天龍寺駐輪場看板

Just off the main drag in Arashiyama, the temple-filled area in western Kyoto, is the World Heritage site Tenryuji Temple.

To the left, or south, of the main entrance is a lot for bicycles and motorcycles.

It is noted with a monolingual sign that, thanks to the image at the bottom, is clear enough.

On a geeky linguistic note, the sign reads: 駐輪場 (churinba). This is instead of the more common 駐輪所 (churinjo). The bike lots in town tend toward the latter, perhaps more modern, reading.
