If you've been to Oahu island of Hawaii.. It's very likely you've visited the Hawaii version of my next destination 平等院 (Byoudo-en) in Uji Kyoto 😍 This beautiful Buddhist temple is 1028-year-old & the one is Hawaii is a 100-year-old celebration replica of the one in Japan 🤯 In Hawaii you are allowed to ring the 🔔 but the one in Japan was too old for them to allow tourists to ring the bell 🥹 Sometimes I think of if I would visit these temples again when I visit Kyoto again & for this one I would like to because I didn't get to see the famous Buddha statue here.. Like any old temples in Japan this temple suffered a fire & the only hall untouched was the Buddha statue's Phoenix Hall 🫣 Therefore while the surrounding of the temple had been renovated the Buddha statue remains over 1000-year-old isn't that something!! #kyototrip #kyotojapan #kyototravel #byodointemple #japanculture
