What people are saying:
It is said that this is the longest and largest wooden structure in the world, and it is certainly very powerful from the outside, but it is not the kind of special splendid appearance, feel very Japanese style of the building.

Introduction
Sanjusangen-do Temple, also known as the Hall of the Lotus King, boasts one of Japan's few long wooden buildings, its main hall stretching from north to south. Although the exterior is simple and austere, the interior is shockingly different. The temple is filled with Japanese National Treasures, including Buddhist statues and cultural relics, and it is especially famous for the impressive number of statues of the Thousand Armed Kannon. These statues vary in appearance, from differences in clothing and musical instruments to expressions and postures. The temple is also known for its archery competition which is held here every year.

It is said that this is the longest and largest wooden structure in the world, and it is certainly very powerful from the outside, but it is not the kind of special splendid appearance, feel very Japanese style of the building.
It's a beautiful, but not very complicated, large wooden house, a national treasure on their side, so there are a lot of people here, but it feels a little monotonous.
Sanjusangendo is an ancient architecture in Japan, located in Higashiyama ward, Kyoto City. It is a Tendai sect temple in Japan. It is famous for offering a thousand statues of Kannon. It is the main hall of the renhua royal inn, the national treasure of Japan, and the most wonderful temple architecture in Kyoto.
A very quaint temple, like a museum, long building facade, very regular, the facade display a lot of gods, including thousands of hands, such as Guanyin Buddhist objects, inside photographs are not allowed.
Thirty-three halls have three very impressive, the first is the Guanyin image, very meticulous, next to a bunch of small gods, the second is the building neat, clean, steady, the third is the building everywhere is introducing the principle of resistance.
By far one of the most overlooked of Kyoto's temples, this one features 1001 statues of the Goddess Kannon, the goddess of Mercy. Rebuilt after a fire, this temple's wooden hall is the longest in Japan and worth a stroll to experience.
This temple was pretty cool, there is over 1000 budda statues inside. Unfortunately you can't take any photos but it truly is a remarkable sight to see

Sanjusangendo Hall is better known as the Temple of the 1,000 Buddhas. It''s walled from the street and doesn''t look like much as you drive by.
Right around the corner from the Hyatt, this temple provides and interesting view of a thousand Buddhist deities or kannon. They are facing east toward sacred burial site in the mountains. Lots of good luck charms to be had in here too.
