About This Destination
Rising elegantly above a tranquil pond garden, the five-story pagoda of Rurikoji Temple has been celebrated as one of Japan's three most beautiful pagodas since its construction in 1442. Designated a National Treasure, the graceful structure was built to console the spirit of a young feudal lord who died in battle. The surrounding Kozan Park becomes a canvas of cherry blossoms in spring and flaming maples in autumn, providing ever-changing natural frames for this architectural masterpiece.
