Five-Story Pagoda
京都市南区九条町
The oldest wooden structure in Kyoto and a National Treasure, this five-story pagoda boasts the greatest height in Japan (54.8 meters) prior to the modern era.
History
Emperor Suzaku began construction of the five-story pagoda in 936 CE to pay respect to his father, Emperor Daigo, and it was completed 15 years later. It is one of the few temple structures to survive fires that destroyed other buildings.

What visitors say
The nighttime illumination creates a fantastical scene with the contrast between the five-story pagoda and the autumn leaves or cherry blossoms. Early morning markets are sometimes held, bringing a lively atmosphere. The interior of the pagoda is usually closed to the public, but during special openings, visitors can view the first floor and experience the historic space up close.
