Tahoto Pagoda

A modern relic


















An image of a pagoda far away.

Tahoto Pagoda was built by the priest Shukan in 1523 and is 15.6 meters high. Although Tahoto Pagoda is constructed mainly in Japanese style, parts of the structure have Indian and Chinese architectural features. Tahoto Pagoda presents the unique combination of a square shape on the lower level and a round shape on the upper level. During cherry blossom seasons, Tahoto Pagoda shows a breath-taking scenery under spot lights.
