The main hall of Horaku-ji temple exhibits architectural elements inspired by the design of Ginkaku-ji temple in Kyoto, featuring traditional wooden structures.
Established in 1249 during the Kamakura period by Yoshiuji, the third leader of the Ashikaga clan, who discovered an Amida Buddha statue in a pond.
