My favourite old building in Japan I’m going to describe a historical building in Japan. It’s in an ancient village located in Japan’s mountainous Wakayama prefecture, in the east part of Japan. The building is placed in a quite unique area. That developed as a religious city some 1200 years ago so that one of Japan’s famous monks was to spread Japanese Buddhism. As far as I know, there are over 100 temple complexes there, and the most important among them are Kongobuji. That is the head temple there, and it was used for a training facility for religious practice. However, it now becomes a religious symbol and tourist attraction as well. The reason I like the building is because it has a traditional Japanese style, and also the city’s history makes it more attractive. It’s just amazing to think that it was built around 1000 years ago. Not only that it’s attractive for massive appearance, but also the interior decoration is sophisticated. Some famous painter at the time drew beautiful paint on the sliding doors. I’ve fascinated by those elaborate design when visiting there. Also, it attracts many foreign visitors around the world.
