My Kind of Kyoto, a website on Japan's most important historic city.
Koyasu-no-to pagoda looked from Hondo. The important cultural property
has been believed to be built sometime in early 17th century, but during the overhaul in the year 2012, they found an inscription on a small wooden part that means "May 4, 1500". The history of the pagoda must be rewriten. The pagoda used to stand south-west of
Nio-mon gate until 1912. Koyasu Kan'non, a Buddhist deity of easy delivery,
is enshrined in the pagoda..
