The Tō-ji (eastern temple) or Kyō-ō Gokoku-ji (protecting temple of the kings of the scripture) is a Buddhist temple in Kyōto, Japan. It is easily findable because of its 57 meters high pagoda which is the highest in Japan.
It was built between 877 and 888 and was rebuilt in 1644. An important festival, the Goshichinichi mishu-hō, is held here under participation of a representative of the Tennō. What happens there is a well-kept secret.
