In another part of Higashimaya District stands Yasaka no Pagoda, also known as the Hokan-ji Temple. It is a landmark in Kyoto that has been the inspiration for many artists over the years.
I’m sure you would have come across pictures or artwork with the five storey pagoda standing tall between the Yasaka Shrine and the Kiyomizu Temple. The pagoda is surrounded by residential houses and is recognised for its earthquake safe structure.
Although it was destroyed many times and burned in war, it was always reconstructed to its original form. Today’s structure was rebuilt in 1440.
Another picture perfect spot you would not want to miss when in Kyoto.
