The 'Phoenix Hall' of Byodo-in, framed by autumn leaves.

Closer view of the 'Phoenix Hall'. Look closely and you can see the face of the statue of Amida peering out.

The 'Phoenix Hall' and pond.

Aji-no-ike stretches before the 'Phoenix Hall'...this is the view looking from the hall to the gardens and Uji River (hidden) beyond.

✨😇A SLICE OF PARADISE🪷🎶

Byōdō-in's ( 平等院) Hōō-dō (鳳凰堂 'Phoenix Hall') was completed in 1053. Once completely surrounded by Aji-ga-ike pond, the stretch of water helped protect the building from fires in 1336 and 1483 that completely destroyed the rest of the temple.

The Phoenix Hall of Byodo-in.

Vivid red crepe myrtle flowers.

Fallen crepe blossoms on a lotus leaf.

For a long time it was believed that crape myrtles had been imported to Japan from the mainland some time in the Edo period, but recently pollen was discovered in the pond bed at Byōdō-in (平等院) that confirmed trees were growing here before the temple (completed in 1052)!😮

#Byodoin #平等院 #Uji

Byodo-in, one of Japan's most famous temples.

Uji is the home of matcha in Japan, and you can find shops selling matcha flavoured everything.

Statue of Murasaki Shikibu in Uji...the later chapters of The Tale of Genji are set in this area.

Ujigami-jinja...the shrine's main hall is believed to be the oldest in Japan.

In June this year two more Pokémon manhole covers appeared in Uji, the home of matcha in Japan.
Both are within easy walking distance of the Keihan Uji Station (and not particularly far from the JR Uji Station).
