We dropped in at the famous temple of Rurikoji. My wife visited it for the first time and was enthralled with the beauty of the Five-Storied Pagoda, which was designated a national treasure. It was built 600 years ago and survived several times from earthquakes and indiscriminate bombing by the U.S. It had a 5-layered roof and its reflection on the pond in front of the pagoda was really beautiful.
