Virtually every Japanese municipality has at
least one temple, while large cultural centers like Kyoto have several thousands of them. Temples store and display
sacred Buddhist objects, and some of them used to or still function as
monasteries. It’s a wonderful experience to explore the structures of these
building: Main Hall, Gates, Bell,
Cemetery. One of the most interesting structures is the Pagoda, a very tall tower
with multiple eaves used to store remains of the Buddha such as a tooth,
usually in form of a representation. Japan is a wonderful combination of
old and modern structures. For example, in small city such as Kyoto is very
interesting to see many buildings that combines contemporary forms with age-old
techniques and natural materials such as the sliding wood slat screens along an
inner wall that recall the corridors of old Japanese temples, whereas in the
new landmark in Ginza, Tokyo is possible to admire a lot of shopping and
business districts that are full of very tall building that are very similar to
the one in the other metropolis of the world such as New York.
