[Kyoto] Sanjusangendo Temple

📍Sanjusangen-dō, Kyoto
The thousand Buddha statues are simply overwhelming.

Sanjusangen-dō, quietly standing near Kyoto Station, is a place where you can have an especially "overwhelming experience" among the many temples.

The thousand Thousand-Armed Kannon statues lined up inside the hall, as well as the wind and thunder gods, are truly otherworldly in their presence.

🧘♀️The majestic space is quiet yet powerful, and moves the hearts of those who see it.

The building itself is a designated national treasure, and the beauty of the details and the number of pillars (33 bays = 34 pillars) are also noteworthy!

📷Photography is prohibited inside, but the exterior, garden, and long corridor are also photogenic.

This is a must-see spot for travelers who want to feel history.

📍Access: About 5 minutes on foot from Keihan Shichijo Station
