Byodoin Temple is located in the Uji City, southern Kyoto Prefecture in Japan. This temple is a few minutes walk from the Keihan Railway Uji Station. This temple was established by Kampaku (chief adviser to the Emperor) Fujiwara Yorimichi in 1052 AD.
The most famous structure in the Byodoin Temple precincts is the Phoenix Hall. It is an elaborate structure built in 1053 AD as a worship hall for Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha is the principal object of worship for the Pure Land Buddhism.
The front view of the Phoenix Hall is featured on the ten Yen coin. Most people who visit this temple, take a picture of themselves holding a ten yen coin, standing in front of the Phoenix Hall.
The Phoenix Hall and the pond around it are mentioned in various "Uji Chapters" of the classic novel Tale of Genji.
