This building is in Sanjusangen-do temple(三十三間堂, さんじゅうさんげんどう) around Kyoto Sta. If you are not familiar to see temples, every building looks similar. It's also for me. When I look at the specific part of temples I can tell it from others, but if not, I can't.
It's one of the characteristic part of the temple. In the photo there is a long porch. In old Japan samurai warriors, who had special techniques to shoot an arrow to a target, joined in a contest of Japanese archery. They aimed to the center of a target 60meters away.
It was one special event. And also, inside the building you can watch 1001 Buddhism sculptures.
They have their own faces. Every face is different. Buddhist monks said according to a tradition you will find a similar face of a person you want to meet in the 1001 sculptures.
That temple is worth seeing! When you go there, please look for one sculpture, which is nice for you!
