Built in 1234 by Genchi, a disciple of the witness Shōnin Hōnen who founded the Buddhist sect Jōdo. The principle of this sect is to ritualize the veneration of Amida Buddha in a single act of faith. The temple is of considerable importance to the Japanese and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has been burned several times and was last rebuilt in 1633. The giant bell, the largest in Japan, weighs 75 tons. It takes no less than 17 monks to ring it on New Year's Eve.
