1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #517 - Daoigo-ji Shrine, Kyoto

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #517

- Daigo-ji Shrine, Kyoto, Japan
 
 
(Another shrine in Kyoto that brings out the best of Japan. Daigo-ji Shrine is nestled below a hill and is a prime spot for cherry blossoms here. We came a little too early for that but the red bridge of the Bentendo Hall here is striking, especially with its reflection from the small lake here. The Golden Hall was busy on this day, as monks marched in on this early morning for their prayers. The 5-storey pagoda here, built in 951, is the oldest building in Kyoto)
