Byodoin Temple, Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture
Byodoin Temple is located in the Uji City, southern Kyoto Prefecture in Japan. This temple is a few minutes walk from the Keihan Railway Uji Station. This temple was established by Kampaku (chief adviser to the Emperor) Fujiwara Yorimichi in 1052 AD.
The most famous structure in the Byodoin Temple precincts is the Phoenix Hall. It is an elaborate structure built in 1053 AD as a worship hall for Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha is the principal object of worship for the Pure Land Buddhism.
The front view of the Phoenix Hall is featured on the ten Yen coin. Most people who visit this temple, take a picture of themselves holding a ten yen coin, standing in front of the Phoenix Hall.
The Phoenix Hall and the pond around it are mentioned in various Uji Chapters of the classic novel Tale of Genji.
Enjoy!!!

► Byodoin is a buddhist temple in Uji, Kyoto Prefecture, founded in 1052 by the Fujiwara clan. The main building (the phoenix hall) with the golden phoenix on the roof was completed in 1053, and the two wings followed in 1054.
Byodoin is also popular nicknamed The 10 yen coin Temple, as its pictured on the backside of - you guessed it - Japanese 10￥coins.
As it was the case with the Golden Pavilion I showed you recently, Byodoin is also located in a picturesque setting, by a large pond, with the mountains as a backdrop - Kyoto at its best.
Don't miss this place if going to Kyoto, even it's not so easy getting there, as many other famous Kyoto sights it's 100% worth it.

Nestled in the city of Uji in Kyoto prefecture, is Byodoin Temple (平等院) built in 998. Byodoin Temple incorporates the Buddhist Pure Land (Jodo) architecture. Byodoin Temple with its beautiful garden symbolizes the Pure Land Paradise. Originally built as a countryside retreat villa, Fujiwara no Michinaga, this temple architecture influenced the construction of future temples. Michinaga’s son transformed the villa into a temple. He ordered the creation of the temple’s most amazing feature, the Phoenix Hall. Though the hall bears a different name officially, due to the shape as well as the two phoenix statues on the roof, the hall is known as the Hoodo (“Phoenix Hall”). Visitors may be pleased to note this beautiful hall is imprinted on the back of the Japanese ten yen coin.

Byodoin Temple (平等院, Byōdō-in) was originally built in 998 in the Heian period as a rural villa of high-ranking courtier Minamoto no Shigenobu, Minister of the Left. The villa was made into a Buddhist temple by Fujiwara no Yorimichi in 1052. The most famous building in the temple is the Phoenix Hall (鳳凰堂 Hōō-dō) or the Amida Hall, constructed in 1053. It is the only remaining original building, surrounded by a scenic pond.
The temple is a striking example of Buddhist Pure Land (Jodo) architecture. Together with its garden, the temple represents the Pure Land Paradise and was influential on later temple construction. Although the temple was given another official name, almost immediately after its construction, it was nicknamed the Phoenix Hall because of its shape and the two phoenix statues on its roof. The hall is now featured on the back of the Japanese ten yen coin.
