Byodoin Temple Museum Hoshokan
The museum is located within the premises of the World Heritage site, Byodoin, famous for its magnificent Phoenix Hall (Hou-ou-do) which recreates the Pure Land of Bliss in this world.
The Byodoin Temple Museum Hoshokan houses many precious artifacts from Byodoin, including exquisite Buddhist statues, Worshiping Bodhisattvas on Clouds, a temple bell, and other temple-related objects. Seeing them up close gives you an even greater appreciation for the craftsmanship and history of a thousand years ago. When visiting Byodoin, don't leave right after taking photos outside. Take some time to visit the Hoshokan—it's really worth it!
