Five-Storied Pagoda／五重の塔: The pagoda is 49 meters high, built in 5 stories in 592, supposedly by Shoutoku-taishi. Oficially this is the pagoda of Houkanji Temple, but it is fondly called "Yasaka no Tou", the Yasaka Pagoda because of its proximity to Yasaka Shrine. 高さ49メートルで、いわゆる五階建ての形になっているこの塔は、伝説で592年に聖徳太子によって建てられたそうです。正式には法観寺の五重塔ですが、八坂神社の近くにあるため八坂の塔とも呼ばれています。
