Beautiful Byōdō-in Temple 🗾
Byōdō-in temple in Uji, on the southern outskirts of Kyoto is a stunning work of restoration. A UNESCO world heritage listed site, its significance is displayed on the 10 yen coin and 10,000 yen note. If you get a chance, check out the museum as well for the history of the temple and Phoenix Hall (the main building) and a depiction of the temple in its colourful prime. #BestOf5 #troveon #troveontheroad #japan #uji #byodoin #kyoto @traveltherenext @Visit_Japan @TheTokyoTimes #GoldenHour
