Ujishima Thirteen-Story Pagoda
宇治市宇治塔川１３
A stone pagoda with a thirteen-story structure located on the Pagoda Island in the Uji River. It is the largest pre-modern stone pagoda still standing in Japan.
History
In the late Kamakura period, the monk Eison erected a large stupa on the artificial island shaped like a boat, known as Pagoda Island, to pray for the safety of the Uji Bridge and to offer requiems for the spirits of fish caught in the river. The structure collapsed and was buried in mud and sand due to a flood in the late Edo period, but it was excavated and restored in the Meiji period. It was designated as an Important Cultural Property of the nation in 1953.

This massive thirteen-story stone pagoda, approximately 15 meters tall, stands on a sandbar in the Uji River and is characterized by its imposing landscape. It is located along the walking course from Byodo-in Temple to Uji Park, offering beautiful views of the mountains from the river. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom along the embankment, and a cherry blossom festival is held, making the seasonal scenery one of its main attractions.
