    (Translated by Google) Toji is an image that really exists in the modern city of Kyoto. Only a short drive from the highway Kyoto Minami Interchange. At night, turn your back to the city and take a short walk. … Then, it appears in front of you at an unexpected timing. I was surprised at the majestic and beautiful gate. The five-storied pagoda of Toji is like a "huh" in the buildings at night. I feel that the beautiful overlap between the modern cityscape and the Kyoto era is particularly "nice." I like to see the five-storied pagoda from a distance. (Original) 東寺は、本当に現代の京都の街の中に在るイメージ。 高速の京都南インターからも、車でほんの僅か。 夜、街中に背を向け少しだけ散策してみる。 …すると、思いがけないタイミングで目の前に現れる。 その雄々しくも美しい門構えに思わず、ハッとさせられる。 そんな東寺の五重塔は、夜のビル群の中に“フッ”と浮かび上がる様に在る。 現代の街並みと、京の時代とが美しく重なり合う姿が特に“素敵”だと感じる。 五重塔は、遠目から眺めるのが好きだ。

    Tōji Temple is a captivating sanctuary, an embodiment of tranquility in the heart of Kyoto. This ancient temple, with its iconic five-story pagoda, exudes an undeniable sense of peace and reverence. The pagoda stands tall, a symbol of timeless beauty and architectural mastery, drawing admiration for its majestic presence. The temple's serene ambiance offers a respite from the bustling city, inviting visitors to wander through its grounds, soaking in the rich heritage and spiritual essence that permeates every corner. The simplicity and elegance of Tōji Temple speak volumes about Japan's cultural depth and historical significance. Visiting Tōji Temple is an enriching experience, leaving a lasting impression of reverence for its heritage and a serene, meditative calm that lingers long after one's visit. It's a testament to Kyoto's cultural tapestry, inviting all to appreciate its beauty and serenity

    This temple stands out due to its tall five storey pagoda that you can see in the distance. However, there's more to see with two halls housing large altars whereupon sit grand Buddhist statues that are quite a spectacle in themselves. Unfortunately, it's not so convenient to sit to admire or meditate, nor can you take photos at the altars, so you tend to go inside the two halls relatively briefly. The temple also has some gardens that make a nice enough stroll through, but there are better gardens at other famous attractions. The temple grounds don't seem to get particularly busy, but if you're in the area and are interested in tall pagodas and grand altars, then it's well worth a visit. You can grab the Toji temple only ticket or the combined ticket, which gets you entry to two nearby attractions, Homotsukan museum and Shoshibo temple.

    A phenomenally beautiful temple complex. The Five tiered pagoda is a wonder however the true beauty is the deities in the temple. The temples are low light but very quiet, peaceful and relaxing. The complex is very large so you’ll need a few hours to fully appreciate your experience. This was our first place to visit in Kyoto and it set a great standard of historical sites.

    Tōji temple looks so beautiful and easy to get to, walkable from Kyoto station, and there are city buses that will stop in front of the temple. The Pagoda, temple and landscape are all great to watch. The architecture with the brown/orange facade is actually a bathroom. It is so cool, isn't it?

    One of the most interesting temple complex in Kyoto. I suggest to buy the full ticket, not only the entrance to the Tōji Temple. It gives you access to the nearby museum and a couple of historical houses. The Buddha's statues were magnificient. Allow yourself more than one hour to see the whole complex. It is also less crowded compared to other tourist spots in the city. Overall, it was a great experience.

    The nighttime experience was nothing short of incredible. Even on a rainy night, the trees and historic buildings were bathed in such beautiful light. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom and looked magical lit from underneath.

    One won't be able to cover all temples in Kyoto if staying for 2-3days. Do select a few. Highly recommend this temple to visit. Big, serene, peaceful and beautiful landscapes. Walking distance from Kyoto main station. You can read more about the history of the temple on Wiki

    Went to this place at night time, on autumn they held night illumination event, the entrance fee for adult is 1000 yen. The temple was pretty and i'm amazed at how the pagoda looked like at night. There are also many Buddhist statues inside the two halls building and it is worth to visit. I bought some little souvenirs from the shop too and one of the young girl staff was nice! Really recommended to visit especially during autumn season

    Such a serene and beautiful sight to see with the fantastic gardens surrounding the temple grounds. We could not enter the temple building itself which is reserved for special occasions but there was so much to see with an array of different Shinto statues, buildings and a lovely pond that showcases the main temple is a must see in Kyoto.

    Beautiful and peaceful place. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The architecture and design is amazing. Around two hrs is enough to enjoy the place. Best part of it is that it is near to the Kyoto JR station. You can reach the by walk.

    Old & Cool Japanese Temple I especially enjoyed the Kanchi-in hall! It allegedly holds the largest and most well preserved collection of esoteric Buddhism writings. In 1308 the emperor was just chillin in the temple reading stuff and praying, that's how dope the place is.

    Toji has a very famous 5-story wooden pagoda because it is the tallest wooden tower in Japan. I didn't take much time like I did in other temples but still great place to check out and take picture of the pagoda.

    Absolutely stunning place with the Autumn colours! We went between 4-5pm when the sun was setting in the background and it was lovely, though I do recommend seeing it in the day time and the night time. There is a fee to go in the park, but you can still have lovely views from outside.

    Visited Toji mid November 2022. A bit of a walk from Aeon Mall. Night crowd was intense & expensive (1000 yen per person). The best views were in the front with the trees reflecting off of the water. It was so crowded it was hard to enjoy it because people were taking photos everywhere. Trails were narrow in some areas and hard to see ropes. Glad to see it at night.

    For a ticket under ¥500 it will give you access to a small garden with a pond, two shrines, and the pagoda. You can't enter the pagada. It's the tallest pagoda in Japan.

    Very cool shrine and pagoda! A must go place iid visiting Kyoto. About 500 yen to go inside the park area to get a better view of the pagoda which is worth it! So many cool pictures and such a nice area to walk around. Very cool older pagoda just amazing to see.

    Toji is one of the most famous temples in Kyoto. This was constructed by Kukai’s demand. He is famous for establishing one of Japanese Buddhism sects, “Shingon-Buddhism”. Toji is not far from Kyoto station, it takes about 15 minutes on foot. 5 storied-pagoda is sophisticated. It’s worth visiting.

    Beautiful place, the temples are incredible and the Pagoda is huge and magnificent. Had the pleasure of going there in full bloom, which made the experience more exciting. My only complaints are that there is not enough information in the brochure they hand out in the entrance (I really wanted to learn more but the knowledge in it is really limited) and that it is a bit pricey to go in - 500円 to go in and 1000円 to go in and gain access to the museum on the other side of the grounds. Other than that, it was a great experience. Recommended for those looking to get a glimpse into Buddhism.

    📸Very pretty. We visited the temple in the start of November, where the temple is lit up at night. A wonderful view. Makes for great pictures:) It opens at 18:00 and closes around 21:30. 🤑Price was 500 yen for adults. There are other temples included in the price. I recommend giving these a look too. Filled with religious statues. This was really pretty too. 🚫You were not allowed to take photos in those temples though.

    Full blossom now. If you have enough time, visit Toji in both morning and night to experience different views of cherry blossom. They have both white and pink flowers. Night view is amazing and must see. Water reflection is pretty. If you are lucky, you can see the bird catching fish along the river side. City buses 207, 18 and 71 all stop in front of Toji. Entrance fee is 500 yen per person.

    Toji temple in Kyoto is one the famous tourist attraction here in Japan. During spring season around the last week of March and first week of April is the best time to visit were the SAKURA (cherry blossom) is already bloomed.

  • 5/5 Brandon C. 4 months ago on Google
    Came here for the autumn foliage. Do come earlier in the morning to avoid crowd. A bit of walking distance from the bus stop. Follow the sign for traffic flow. Best to buy some snacks b4 as not much cheap food or beverage choices up there

    There was a flea market when I got there, however it's raining and had a suitcase with me, made it hard to stroll around. Decided to skip the temple with a heavy heart. Still looks majestic from the outside.

    Toji temple’s light up was amazing !! It stars 18:00 and ends 21:00 until early December 2021. It is a walking distance if you stay near kyoto station . The sweet japanese wine ( amaizake) is highly recommended after viewing.

  • 5/5 Choo H. 5 months ago on Google
    It is free to walk around the temple, but admission fees are needed to view inside the Pagodo and the two temples that housed one of the most impressive Buddha statues I have seen ( but no photography ) . Worth the fees .

  • 5/5 Saurabh 2 years ago on Google
    Calm, serene and beautiful. A must visit during Spring, the five storied pagoda with falling Sakura is a stunning sight. The two treasure halls feature Buddha statues which are a work of art and a must visit, highly recommend the combined 1000 yen ticket which is exceptionally cheap for the complete premises you get to see at Toji. Nearest major bus stop is called Toji michi which is a short walk from the place.

    Visited this temple as part of our day cycling around the city. You can park your hired bikes on the temple ground. There's a small entry fee for adults & children and varies depending on which sections you would like to see. No photos are allowed within the temple buildings. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful, and the temple's architecture is simply amazing. Definitely recommended.

    Unbelievable unmber of national treasures and important cultural properties (It’s ptohibited to take pictures of most of them). They are exhibited during only limited terms (September 20- Novenber25, 2022). I was lucky enough to visit here during the term by chance.

    (Translated by Google) Parking on site is 600 yen for 2 hours. You can take a leisurely look around in 2 hours. With a 500 yen admission ticket, you can see the five-storied pagoda, the Kondo, the auditorium and the main towers. If it is 800 yen, it will be a common ticket that you can see Kanchi-in Temple. For me who wanted to see the five-storied pagoda since I came to Kyoto for the time being, do you also see the canchiin? However, when I was at a loss because I didn't know what to see, the person in charge explained the highlights of Kanchi-in. There are many highlights such as the eagle figure written by Miyamoto Musashi and the beautiful garden, so we recommend that you also visit this as a set. (Original) 敷地内の駐車場は2時間600円です。 2時間あればゆっくり見て回れます。 500円の入場券で五重塔、金堂、講堂と主要な塔堂を見て回れます。 800円だと観智院も見れる共通券になります。 とりあえず京都に来たからには五重塔が見たいと思って来た私にとって、カンチインも見ますか?と言われても、何が見れるか分からないので迷っていると、係の人が観智院の見どころを説明してくれました。 宮本武蔵が書いたと言われる鷲の図、美しい庭など、見どころ満載なので、こちらもセットで見学する事をおすすめします。

    (Translated by Google) The only remains of a temple founded in 1200 that remains from the Heiankyo period to the present day. The official name is Kyooh Gokokuji, which means a esoteric Buddhist temple for national protection. Toji was given to Kobo Daishi Kukai by Emperor Saga, and although it prospered as the root dojo of Shingon Esoteric Buddhism, there was a time when it declined for a while after Kukai died. It is now the head temple of the Toji Shingon sect. The temple is open all year round, as early as 5 am. (Original) 1200年に創設されたお寺として平安京時代から現代に残る唯一の遺構。正式名称を教王護国寺と言い、国家鎮護の密教寺院という意味があります。 嵯峨天皇から弘法大師・空海に東寺が下賜(かし)されて、真言密教の根本道場として栄えるも空海が亡くなった後は一時期衰退した時期もありましたが。現在は東寺真言宗の総本山になっています。 なお、年中無休、朝の5時という早い時間から開門しているお寺です。

    (Translated by Google) I saw it in April 2017. I think I visited for the first time in 1974. At that time, you were a junior high school student. How many times have you visited since then? I was able to enter the first layer of the five-storied pagoda with a special exhibition of private cultural properties. However, when I visited after that, I only looked into the first layer from the door. What impresses me is the statue of Mantra Hachiso drawn on the wall. Kobo Daishi is also drawn. After all, the Buddhas in the auditorium are wonderful no matter how many times you visit them. I have seen it from the back side once. In September of last year, I received the red stamp of Kobo Daishi, but this time I received the red stamp of the principal idol, Yakushi Nyorai. You can get the red stamp at the cafeteria. (Original) 2017年4月に拝観しました。初めて訪れたのが昭和49年かな。その頃は中学生でしたね。それから何度訪れましたか? 非公開文化財特別公開で五重塔の初層に入ることができました。ただ、その後拝観した時は初層を扉より覗くだけになりました。印象にあるのは壁に描かれた真言八祖像でしょう。弘法大師も描かれています。 やはり講堂の諸仏は何度拝観してもすばらしいですね。一度後ろ側からも拝観させていただいた事があります。 昨年9月には弘法大師の御朱印をいただきましたが、今回は御本尊の薬師如来の御朱印をいただきました。御朱印は食堂でいただけます。

    (Translated by Google) The Kyoto Tower and the Five-storied Pagoda of Toji Temple are well known as landscapes. Leave it to other reviews for religious content and the five-storied pagoda.

    (Translated by Google) I walked from Kujo subway station to Namdaemun The five-storied pagoda seen from the front of the entrance was just a word of "masterpiece" and I felt that it was just sung by the railway song. At the main hall, there were few people because it was the season of corona, so we asked them to write the red stamp on the spot. It seems that there are more than 10 types of red stamps, so it may be good to visit and complete it many times. There was also a souvenir and it was over without stopping by Goshuin ¥ 300 (Original) 地下鉄九条駅から南大門まで歩きました 入口前から見える五重塔は「圧巻」の一言でさすがに鉄道唱歌に歌われるだけあるなぁと感じました 本堂では、コロナ禍の季節であるからか人が少なく御朱印をその場で書いて頂きました。 御朱印も10数種類あるようなので何度も足を運んでコンプリートするのもいいかもしれません お土産ものやさんもありました立ち寄らず終いでした 御朱印 ¥300

    (Translated by Google) It is a tour of temples related to Kobo Daishi. We visit several times a year, and we also pay Gomaki every time. I am overwhelmed by the size of the Buddha statue. (Original) 弘法大師さまゆかりのお寺巡りです。年に何度か御参りさせていただいています、毎回護摩木も納めさせていただいています。仏像の大きさに圧倒されます。

    (Translated by Google) Visited in February 2020 before Corona. I visited for the first time because it was in the opposite direction to the famous places in Kyoto and I had never had a chance to go there. (Original) コロナ前2020年2月訪問。 京都の有名どころとは逆方向にありこれまで行く機会がなく初めて訪問しました。

    (Translated by Google) I went for the light of autumn leaves. I was moved to change my expectations. Light up was also very beautiful, but the beauty of the scenery beyond the expectation after entering. I think that it was this that the word was not. The precincts were also full of photo opportunities, but when I saw the statues of the Zen statue in the room, the four Tenno, and the Buddha in the night light. It was a really recommended space 🎵 not anyone other than impression. I came to Tokyo, of course, to the Toji exhibition, I won't look at this again, it would be meaningless to come to Kyoto. It is recommended to think so. Please come by all means, please (Original) 紅葉のライトアップでいきましたが。予想をくつがす感動がありました。ライトアップも凄くきれいでしたが、中にはいってからの予想を超える、景観の美しさ。言葉がでないとは、このことだったんだと思います。境内もシャッターチャンスが満載でしたが、室内にある菩薩像や、4天王、如来の姿を夜の明かりで見たら。感動以外の何者ではない🎵本当にお勧めの空間でした。東京に来た、東寺展覧にも勿論、リピーターでしょwこれを見ないで、京都に来る意味ないかなーーーーーー。と思うぐらいお勧めです。皆さんも是非、足を運んでくださいね🎵

    (Translated by Google) ⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅ The symbol of the ancient city in the clear winter sky ⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅ It is an ancient temple that was built together with the Heian period and was used by Kobo Daishi ⋅ Kukai as the basic dojo of Shingon Esoteric Buddhism. The five-storied pagoda, which stands with a dignity toward the clear winter sky, is a symbol of the ancient city. We prayed for the New Year's blessing by visiting the Kondo where the principal image ⋅ Yakushi Nyorai is enshrined, the auditorium that represents the three-dimensional mandala centered on Dainichi Nyorai, and the Mikagedo where Kukai used to live. We also asked for the end of the new coronavirus. (Original) ⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅澄んだ冬空に古都のシンボル⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅ 平安遷都とともに建立され、弘法大師⋅空海が真言密教の根本道場とした古刹です。 冬の澄んだ空に向かって凜と建つ五重塔は古都のシンボル。本尊⋅薬師如来を安置する金堂、大日如来を中心に立体曼荼羅を表した講堂、空海が住房とした御影堂などを巡って新年のご加護を祈りました。 また、新型コロナウイルスの終息もあわせてお願いしました。

    (Translated by Google) The five-storied pagoda here is a masterpiece. It feels like THE Kyoto. I have a little feeling for it, but I think that the three-dimensional mandala and especially the angry Sama of Fudo Myoo are the highest peaks. I don't think there is any Meio who is more angry than Fudo Myoo here. Please let me know if you have one. I will go immediately. (Original) ここの五重の塔は圧巻です。 THE京都、て感じです。 ちょっと思い入れがありますが、その他にも立体曼荼羅とか特に不動明王の怒れるサマが最高峰だと思います。 ここの不動明王より怒ってる明王様はこの世にないと思います。 あったら教えてください。すぐに行きます。

    (Translated by Google) The five-storied pagoda, a national treasure, has a Buddha-like bone under the true pillar and is also used for the construction method of the Sky Tree. It is a World Heritage Site and is open from 9 am to 4:30 pm, open all year round. The 21 statues of the Yakushi Sanson Auditorium in Kondo, where street stalls are lined up on the 21st of every month on the anniversary of Kobo Daishi's death, are a must-see, and the treasure house of Toji is surrounded by a moat with a building that has preserved treasure. Beside that, there is a willow related to Ono no Michikaze, and Michikaze, who was depressed without the talent of calligraphy, did not give up when he saw the frog trying many times to grab the willow leaf and succeeded in jumping brilliantly. I decided to work harder on calligraphy and became a master of calligraphy. (Original) 国宝五重塔は真柱の下にお釈迦様の骨があり、スカイツリーの工法にも使われる。世界遺産で営業は9時から16時半までで年中無休。弘法大師の命日に毎月21日に露店が並ぶ金堂の薬師三尊講堂の21体の彫像郡は必見で東寺の宝蔵は宝物を保存して来た建物で周りを堀で囲っている。そのそばに、小野道風ゆかりの柳があり、書道の才能が無いと落ち込んでいた道風は🐸カエルが柳の葉に掴まろうと何度も挑戦し見事に飛びつく事に成功した姿を見て諦めずに努力すれば道は開けると書道に一層励む事を決意し書道の達人になった。
