Toji Temple in Kyoto


Toji (or To-ji, "Eastern Temple") is a Buddhist temple of the Shingon sect in the city center of Kyoto, Japan. It is best known for its five-story pagoda, the highest wooden tower in Japan. Toji's most eye-catching building is the 57-meter (180-foot), five-story pagoda, reconstructed in 1695.
