Kyoto is home to most Buddhist head temples, which shaped the ancient capital's historical landscape and fascinate visitors.

Maintaining temples for centuries, carpenters conduct major repairs at Chion-in and thatch Kiyomizu-dera's main-hall with cypress bark using traditional roofing methods. Look at the world of Buddhist architecture, sustained by craftsmanship and faith.
