Byodo-in

Byodo-in is a striking example of Buddhist Pure Land architecture, representing the Pure Land Paradise. The temple's most spectacular feature is the Phoenix Hall, built in 1053, which houses a statue of the Amida Buddha. The hall is one of the few original wooden structures to survive from the Heian Period. Visitors can enter the Phoenix Hall on guided tours and explore the temple's treasure house, which exhibits valuable artifacts and informative displays on the temple's construction and history. The temple is a great place to visit with family and friends to learn about its rich history and cultural significance
