    Users Assigned: Shimizu77  

    There is a lot to see here in Nishi-Honganji. This is one of the best examples Buddhist monumental architecture in Japan; it combines a heroic, dramatic silhouette and with lavish decoration.

    These 17th-century buildings were constructed with materials brought from Fushimi Castle which was the property of Hideyoshi. This was originally on the southern side of Kyoto and was dismantled by a Tokugawa shogun in the 1630s.

        • You have to make an appointment reservation in advance. I think this shrine is the best school in Japan that remains. It is a temple, but you can feel the feeling that the people are sitting down. I had heard a voice saying "oh ~" unexpectedly!
