About
A Buddhist temple on wooden stilts, famous for its veranda overlooking Kyoto and the valley below.
Built on the slopes of Mount Otowa, this temple is distinguished by its large wooden veranda supported by tall pillars. From the terrace, panoramic views stretch over Kyoto and surrounding hills. The site draws many visitors, but the layout is designed to accommodate large crowds.
