Toji (lit. "Eastern Temple") was founded as the city's guardian temple in the year 794, the same year in which Kyoto became Japan's new capital.
Toji is well known for its five storied pagoda, Japan's tallest with a height of 57 meters, and the Buddhist sculptures that are displayed in the temple's large main hall (kondo) and lecture hall (kodo). Toji is one of Kyoto's many UNESCO world heritage sites.
On the 21st of each month, a lively flea market is held around Toji from the early morning hours until around 16:30 in the afternoon. Various goods including clothes, shoes, tableware, sculptures, foods and plants are on sale.
