The Kyoto World Heritage Temple Most Tourists Walk Past. | Nishi Hongan-ji | Deep Sites & Stories

Nishi Hongan-ji is one of Kyoto’s quietest World Heritage Sites — a temple that most visitors overlook, yet holds some of the most beautiful Momoyama-period architecture in Japan. In this video, I explore the Goei-dō and Amida Hall, the legendary 400-year-old ginkgo tree, the stunning Karamon Gate, and the hidden stories behind its wabi-sabi wooden floors.

If you’re looking for a peaceful, meaningful place in Kyoto, this temple might surprise you.
