	Japanese Plain Form. - Outpost Nine Forums
		"The Daibutsu is in a temple called Kotokuin." In order to introduce place names that are not necessarily super-famous (like temple names, store names, or even the name of people who aren't necessarily famous), you say 'to iu' after the name, followed by what it is.
		'kotokuin to iu otera' means 'Kotokuin temple' or more specifically 'the temple called kotokuin.' As stated, 'aru' is the plain form of 'arimasu'
		"Kotokuin is located in Kamakura." Same pattern as before, but you have already explain what Kotokuin is (through the prior sentence), and Kamakura is famous enough not to need an explanation, so you can simplify it.
