Kyoto sebagai kota budaya seringkali menolak bangunan dengan arsitektur yang modern dan pembangunan Menara Kyoto sendiri merupakan bagian dari penolakan tersebut, akan tetapi pada akhirnya dapat diselesaikan dan resmi dibuka untuk umum pada tahun 1964. Di desain menyerupai Lilin Jepang, Menara Kyoto merupakan menara observasi yang berada tepat di seberang stasiun JR Kyoto. Jangan pernah melewati pemandangan dari atas kota Kyoto, dilengkapi dengan teropong yang dapat membawa kalian menikmati keindahan kota ini, yang begitu kaya dengan budaya.

Sebenarnya hostel ini tak memiliki suasana ruko tradisional di Kyoto. Tak ada gorden noren berwarna ala matcha/teh hijau atau tak tercium wangi segar lantai tatami, karakteristik yang lebih terdapat pada Roujiya Guesthouse atau ruangan di Hostel Hana. Namun Piece Hotel lebih memiliki sebuah atmosfer layaknya hostel, dengan warna minimalis dan tembok beton dengan galeri seni kontemporer, sedikit lebih mirip campuran Khaosan Hostel dan Hotel Anteroom
Dengan dua fitur terbaru: Lantai Premium dan restoran istimewa.

Sanjusangendo, officially called Rengeō-in, is a Buddhist temple of the Tendai sect located in the Higashiyama district of Kyoto. The temple’s main hall is famous for housing 1,001 statues of Senju Kannon (1,000-armed Kannon), the goddess of mercy. Taira no Kiyamori built the temple in 1164 as a retirement palace for Emperor Go-Shirakawa. Years later, the structure burned down but was reconstructed in 1266. The name Sanjusangendo translates to “a hall with 33 spaces between columns'' and refers to the number of intervals between the temple’s support columns. The focal point of the temple is its main hall. The impressive one-story building measures 120 meters long, making it the longest wooden structure in Japan. The main hall’s humble architectural style is characterized by its woodwork and slanted roof of wooden shingles. Despite its lack of outward ornateness, the hall’s sheer size commands respect from visitors and exudes a ubiquitous air of sacredness. Apart from the main hall, the grounds are also home to tranquil gardens, temple structures painted in brilliant vermillion, and an annual archery festival called Toshiya Matsuri, where thousands of participants come to test their bow skills and endurance. Witness the 1,001 Senju Kannon Statues Inside the main hall, walk among hundreds of golden, human-sized statues of Senju Kannon. The ornately carved statues stand in elegance with two of their 1,000 arms positioned in prayer and their serene faces deep in meditation. Atop their heads sprout additional smaller heads, which, along with goddess’ 1,000 arms, help her better fight human suffering. In the center of the hall sits a large statue of Kannon, who is positioned similarly in prayer with her multitude of arms fanned out behind her. The 12th and 13th-century statues are carved from Japanese cypress and lacquered with gold leaf, and the large Kannon statue, in particular, is considered a National Treasure. The 1,000 smaller statues are situated on both sides of the seated goddess in ten rows of 50. In front of the first row of Kannon statues, stand 28 additional sculptures of Buddhist guardian deities, many of whom, in contrast to the meditative statues, are poised in protective stances. The visual of hundreds of golden statues against the wooden hall’s muted walls is a truly awe-inspiring sight. Visitors cannot help but be comforted by the overwhelming sight of the serene goddess of mercy. Admission to Sanjusangendo costs 600 JPY for adults, 400 JPY for junior/senior high school students, and 300 JPY for children.
