The History of Kyoto and Toji Temple
In the year 794 AD, Japan's capital was relocated to what is now Kyoto, and the new capital was named Heian-kyo. Unlike its predecessors, which had relatively short lifespans of at most a few decades, Heian-kyo endured for over a millennium, maintaining its status as Japan's capital. A city that retained its importance as the capital for such an extended period is a rare phenomenon on a global scale.
The Toji Temple, famous for its five-story pagoda, is a historical landmark in Kyoto, alongside Kinkaku Temple (the Golden Pavilion) and Kiyomizu Temple. It was established in 796 as a temple to protect Heian-kyo, the capital city at that time. Despite suffering damage from various wars and lightning strikes, it has been rebuilt each time and continues to stand as a structure dating back to the Heian period. This Toji Temple is located adjacent to this hotel, and its history and beauty remain timeless. Therefore, this hotel, with its close proximity to Toji Temple and Kinkaku Temple, can be considered a valuable asset for investors.
