Byodo-in Temple

I visited Byodo-in temple with Arica, Rachel, and John. It's featured on the back of the 10-yen coin. It was built in 1053 and is famous for its Phoenix Hall. That means that it is over 900 years old and over 80% of it is still original. I think that's so amazing! I was able to see a building that was constructed before America was even recognized as a country.
