It was my first temple visit in Kyoto, Japan I'll never forget this place. I was in tears when I saw the giant Buddha wood statue, what an amazing experience very spiritual and moving.
This is a beautiful temple made out of wood. It's an old temple and the wood used has stood the test of time giving it a lovely look with the grain exposed. There are several wooden structures here. The gate itself is quite imposing and beautiful. There's also a small fountain here with a dragon and a large bell.
its always an incredible sight to take in with these temples, ever more so without the hindrance of a billion people walking around
Koryu-ji Temple, the oldest temple in Yamashiro and the birthplace of Heian culture, stands in a remarkably quiet and peaceful setting. Enshrined here is the statue of Maitreya Bodhisattva with crown of treasure, designated National Treasure No. 1. The statue, smiling with its right hand on its cheek, has a mysterious beauty that one could gaze at for hours.
It was a very beautiful place.
Beautiful place peaceful one of the oldest and most important Buddhist temples in the country, dating back to the 7th century. The temple is renowned for its stunning architecture, intricate artwork, and deep spiritual significance.
