Another name of this temple is the Baban Pagoda. Because it is the oldest tower building in Kyoto, it is more famous. This is clearly only five boards, why is it called eight boards? Baidu once said that the temple was built by a local rich man of eight boards, so it was named eight boards temple. I just passed by here and took two pictures at random. When I saw everybody taking pictures here, I thought it should be a scenic spot. I came back to find out that there was such a story. Because it's next to Qingshui Temple, there are more tourists here. They all come by to see it.

    The Yasaka Tower is the oldest building in Kyoto. In the Faguan Temple, the tower seen here is called the Yasaka Tower. Because it is under maintenance, it is closed and no tickets are sold. Even this can't stop us from looking at it outside the wall!

    Faguan Temple has the oldest tower building in Kyoto, the Yasaka Tower. The little brother at the door feels very cool. Under the tower, 1 person, 1 car, standing in front of the Faguan Temple and waiting for the tourists. It is very good. The panoramic view can't help but leave a shadow.

    The Yasaka Tower is Kyoto's oldest tower building and a monastery ordered by Prince Satoshi, a politician committed to popularizing Buddhism in the 6th century. The 46-meter-high Yasaka Tower is the most eye-catching destination in Dongshan, in a low-rise Hao family house.

    Must visit when in Kyoto and in the Kiyomizudera area. This little street allows great views and photo spot of the 5 story pagoda.

    A high-temple department in Kyoto City, everyone must go to the check-in point. There are many rickshaws nearby. Everyone has time to choose to visit by rickshaw.

    Mileutin is to worship here before heading to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. The paths around here are places where you can feel Kyoto, so you'll get lost, but it's a very fun spot.
