Japan: Enryaku-ji Temple

Last Friday I got three postcards: one from Japan and two from Germany.

The card from Japan shows a part of the Enryaku-ji Temple in the Shiga prefecture. The Enryaku-ji Temple was founded in 788 and is located on Mount Hiei in Otsu where it overlooks Kyoto. It is the headquarters of the Tendai sect. Since 1994 is the Enryaku-ji Temple together with the other Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto in Kyoto and Uji on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
