About Tō-ji
Tō-ji is a Shingon Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan, in the city's Minami-ku ward. Its grounds sit by the crossing of Ōmiya and Kujō streets, southwest of Kyōto Station. It was founded in 796, two years after Heian-kyō became the capital. At the time the city became the capital, only three Buddhist temples were permitted there, and Tō-ji is the only one of them that survives. The temple is often associated with Kōbō Daishi, also known as Kūkai, who was put in charge of it in 823 on Emperor Saga's orders.
Its buildings span the Kamakura, Muromachi, Momoyama and Edo eras, and the complex holds early Heian period and Tang dynasty treasures and documents. Five of its buildings are National Treasures: the Lotus Flower Gate, the Miei Hall, the Golden Hall, the five-storied Pagoda and the Kanchiin Guest Hall. The pagoda is Japan's tallest wooden tower at 54.8 meters (180 feet). The present one dates from 1643, when the third Tokugawa shōgun, Iemitsu, ordered it rebuilt, and it received National Treasure status in 1952.
UNESCO added Tō-ji to its World Heritage list in 1994, within the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto. A flea market called Kōbō-san is held on the temple grounds on the 21st of each month in honor of Kūkai, and the largest is on December 21, the last of the year. The grounds also include a garden and pond with turtles and koi.
