Motsu-ji Temple

A UNESCO World Heritage site, Motsu Temple's main buildings were destroyed by the fire that consumed much of the area in 1226. Nevertheless, its remaining Heian-Period Jodo Garden still provides beautiful scenery and gives unique views and rare glimpses at the foundations of its once-great structures. Even the new (1989) main hall was built to reflect the Heian roots of the temple.
