What visitors say
The five-story pagoda, standing as a symbol of the temple grounds, combines traditional architectural beauty with modern structural engineering. Buddhist relics are enshrined inside the pagoda, and the solemn atmosphere harmonizes with the changing scenery of the four seasons and moonlit nights. Some opinions suggest that climbing to the observation deck is not necessarily required.
