    Hiking

    The "Higashi Honganji Temple" is the younger of the two twin temples of the Honganji.

    It is the first historical building in Kyoto that you see when you walk north from the modern train station. Wow, what is that, I thought... The square and temple complex are large and really impressive.

    Partly the temple is currently under restoration and is not accessible. For visitors, seating is available in the large hall to follow temple ceremonies without disturbing them.
