Toji (東寺)

 

Toji is the Head temple for shingon shu, founded in A.D.796, one of the world heritage.

It has the five stories pagoda, which is the tallest wooden tower in Japan.

They hold lighting up event, during spring and autumn season.  It was first time for me though, I really like this place with cherry blossoms.
