Byodo-in Temple in Uji/Map of 10 yen and over 10,000 yen

#100 Ways to Travel

The entire atmosphere and houses in Uji are very old-fashioned, which fits my image of Kyoto as a classic, quiet and comfortable. It is famous for the Tale of Origin and Matcha. Byodo-in is the most representative building, which expresses the ancient Japanese's yearning for the paradise world of the West and is a world heritage.

If you pay attention to the 10 yen and 10,000 yen, you will find that they are the Byodo-in building and the phoenix on the Phoenix Hall respectively. Phoenix Hall is the main building of Byodo-in Temple, enshrining a nearly 3-meter-high wooden Buddha with a long history.

There is an exhibition about the Phoenix Hall in the Byodoin Temple Museum, which is very exciting.

Ticket: 700 yen
Additional purchase at Phoenix Hall: 300 yen (Japanese speaking guide)

Tips:
💫You will understand the entire exhibition after entering the Phoenix Hall and then looking at the exhibition. Photography is not allowed.

💫Wisteria flower guard, very beautiful! #Uji#Japan #Byodoin
