DescriptionByodoin’s Phoenix Hall enshrines the National Treasure seated Amida Nyorai by the sculptor Jocho. The view of the hall across the pond preserves an image of the Pure Land envisioned by Heian-period aristocrats. During interior visits, visitors can see Amida’s serene expression and the richly adorned hall at close range. Entry is capacity-limited and first-come, first-served, so visitors should pay attention to reception times.
