Toji Temple, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Toji is one of Kyoto’s oldest temples. It was founded as a guardian temple for the city in 796 just two years after Kyoto was established as the imperial capital. The temple was one of two that were built to protect the city from negative spiritual energies. Toji means ”East Temple” because it was built on the east side of the main city entrance.
