Higashi Honganji is a large Buddhist temple complex just a short walk from Kyoto Station. It was originally built in 1604, but has burned four times, the most recent time in 1864.
The Goei-do or Founder's Hall is the largest wooden building in Kyoto and one of the largest in the world. Inside, photography is prohibited.

The rope made of hair was amazing to see.
Loving your posts on Kyoto, will be there at the end of the year.
At the end of 2018 I was in Kyoto at the end of a papermaking tour and spent 4 days just walking around, so much to see, it is a wonderful place to spend some time.
You had the most magnificent holiday. That fountain near the end is quite impressive but then, it all is.
These temple buildings are really massive!
Always enjoy this personal, pictorial tour of Japan!
Quite a visit. That hair rope is HUGE. I didn't expect that.

Always enjoying your walks :-)

Such beautiful structures! The hair rope is quite amazing.
That looks beautiful. Japanese architecture is fascinating. The proportions and lines are so different from traditions in Europe and America. Thanks for the great photos.
