Byōdō-in (Byōdō-in) is a Pure Land Buddhist temple in the city of Uji in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan.
Japan commemorates its longevity and cultural significance by displaying its image on the 10 yen coin, and the 10,000 yen note features the phoenix image. In December 1994, UNESCO listed the building as a World Heritage Site as part of the “Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto”. The Phoenix Hall, the great statue of Amida inside it, and several other items at Byōdō-in are national treasures.
A full-size replica of the temple was built in 1968 at the Valley of the Temples on O’ahu, Hawaii.
