Introducing the photos posted on "Minna no Post"!
This is a pickup post on the inbound tourism information SNS "COOL JAPAN VIDEOS".
Today, I would like to introduce "Nguyen Vu" post "Night view of Byodo-in Phoenix Hall".
The contrast between light and shadow of the Byodo-in Phoenix Hall is impressive.
Located in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture, Byodoin Phoenix Hall is one of the World Heritage Sites of Ancient Kyoto.
It is also famous for being depicted on a Japanese 10-yen coin.
The history of Byodo-in Temple dates back to the first year of Tenki (1053). It was built by Sekihaku Fujiwara Yorimichi at the time, and the following year the Phoenix Hall was built as the Amida Hall, a Buddhist hall with Amitabha Buddha as its main deity.
The name Phoenix Hall comes from the fact that when viewed from the front, it looks like a bird with outstretched wings, and a golden phoenix is attached to the roof.
The biggest feature of Phoenix Hall is that it is built in a style that looks as if it is floating in a pond (Aji Pond).
On clear days, the superb view of the phoenix hall reflected in the pond is also popular as a photo spot. We recommend shooting in the morning when it is in good light or in the background of the sunset.
The grounds are full of attractions, such as the garden, which has been designated as a national historic site and place of scenic beauty, and the Brahma bell.
