☑︎Overview

・A row of temples and pagodas built in imitation of ancient architecture from all over Japan

The most famous one is the second photo

It imitates the Yomeimon Gate of Nikko Toshogu Shrine, and the size and proportions of each part are consistent based on the actual measurements of the Yomeimon Gate

The only differences are the decorations and coloring of each part
