Kyot Iconic landmark

#summervacay Hōkan‑ji Temple more popularly known as the Yasaka Pagoda, is one of Kyoto’s most iconic landmarks, nestled in the historic Higashiyama district between Yasaka Shrine and Kiyomizu‑dera. Founded in the 7th century, traditionally by Prince Shōtoku, and rebuilt multiple times—its current form dates from 1440, commissioned by Ashikaga Yoshinori. It’s the sole remaining structure of the original temple complex of Hōkan‑ji and stands as an Important Cultural Property . #yasakashrine #kyoto #yasakapagoda #travel
