Uji, Kyoto Part 2 (Temple)

-Austin

After we finished eating at the GreenTea shop, we walked a short distance to a very famous temple named Byoodoo-in Temple. (Pronounced Bi-Yu-oh-doe)
The temple is a famous Buddhist temple, originally built in 998 AD. The temple is shown on thr back of thr 10 Yen coin.

We walked around and took picture of the temple. There is a museum near the temple that has many old artifacts like paintings and sculptures that were once in or on the temple. We couldn't take pictures in the museum.
