🌸 The Temple on the 10-Yen Coin 🌸

Standing before the magnificent Phoenix Hall at Byōdō-in. It's easy to see why this Heian-era architecture has stood the test of time and inspired so many. A true masterpiece.

A mandatory stop in Uji! This is the temple you see on the back of the Japanese 10-yen coin. The reflection in the pond makes the experience even more magical. ✨

The perfect fusion of art and nature. Byōdō-in's grounds and the Phoenix Hall, housing the Amida Buddha, offer a profound glimpse into Japan's aristocratic past. #travel #kyoto
