五重塔,
ごじゅうのとう, Gojunoto, five-storied pagoda -
Tō-ji (東寺, Tō-ji) is a Buddhist temple of the Shingon sect
in Kyoto, Japan. Its name means East Temple, and it once had
a partner, Sai-ji (West Temple). They stood alongside the
Rashomon, the gate to the Heian capital. It is formally
known as Kyō-ō-gokoku-ji (教王護国寺, Kyō-ō-gokoku-ji?) which
indicates that it previously functioned as a temple
providing protection for the nation. Tō-ji is located in
Minami-ku near the intersection of Ōmiya Street and Kujō
Street, southwest of Kyoto Station.
