One of Kyoto’s most celebrated temples, best known for its massive wooden terrace that juts out over the hillside, offering sweeping views of the city.

This five-storey Buddhist pagoda is part of Hōkan‑ji Temple in the Higashiyama district of Kyoto. Standing about 46 meters tall.

This temple serves both as a Buddhist site and a war-memorial. At its core is a striking 24-meter tall concrete statue of the Bodhisattva Kannon, erected in 1955. Beneath and around the statue are halls and memorials dedicated to the war dead and to peace.
