Description

Gojunoto, the five-storied pagoda was originally constructed in 1407, and restored in 1533. The main deity enshrined here is the Buddha of Medicine.
The pagoda as a whole was constructed in Japanese style as evidenced by the ornamental caps of the railing posts as well as in the placement of the rafters. However, Chinese influence can be seen at the top of the wooden pillars supporting the eaves and in the tails of the rafters.
