Inside the Byodoin Phoenix Hall, a World Heritage Site
京都観光の中でも定番のスポットで、1994年に世界遺産・文化遺産に認定された平等院。
外国人や修学旅行などの団体観光客が多く常に混雑している印象で、人が映り込み納得いく画が撮影できない、鳳凰堂の内部拝観するのにかなりの待ち時間を要すなど、なかなかハードルの高いスポットでもある。
今回は仕事を兼ねての訪問だったが、流行病の影響で静寂で厳かな境内だ。
時間ギリギリではあったが、初めて鳳凰堂の内部拝観ができることとなった。
本堂及び阿弥陀如来像は平安時代に建造されたもの。1000年以上の時を刻み、現存する貴重な素晴らしい建築物であり芸術作品。先人の作品のすばらしさを間近で体感することができた。
Byodo-in Temple was designated as a World Heritage Site and Cultural Heritage Site in 1994, and is a standard spot for sightseeing in Kyoto.
There are many foreigners and group tourists such as school trips, and the impression is that it is always crowded, so it is difficult to take pictures that are convincing because people are reflected in it, and it takes a long time to see the inside of the Phoenix Hall. It is also a high spot.
This time it was a visit that also served as a job, but due to the epidemic, it was a quiet and solemn precinct.
Although it was barely enough time, I was able to see the inside of the Phoenix Hall for the first time.
The main hall and the Amida Nyorai statue were built during the Heian period. It is a precious and wonderful building and work of art that has been in existence for more than 1000 years. I was able to experience the wonderfulness of the work of my predecessor up close.
