[Toji Temple] World Heritage Site🌏

🏖️Overview:
To-ji Temple is officially called Kyoogokoku-ji Temple and is the only surviving relic of Heian-kyo. It was the first esoteric Buddhist temple built in Japan, and became the main training center for Shingon Esoteric Buddhism by Kukai🧑🦲. The five-story pagoda in the temple grounds is 54.8m tall, making it the tallest wooden tower in Japan☝️. It was registered as a World Heritage Site in 1994.

💞Reasons why we recommend it:
It's a classic, but the five-story pagoda, which can be said to be a landmark of Kyoto, is a masterpiece. The grounds are also spacious and there are many things to see, and you will be overwhelmed by the many national treasure Buddha statues.
