Biggest part of the temple structure. Whole building is said to be biggest wooden construction ever. Smaller building had doors open and you could look in. Bigger buildings doors just got closed when we got there. Signs they put outside were only in japanese so we did not know if it was ok to step in.

案内版とHPはほぼ同じ内容です。 御影堂(ごえいどう)〔重要文化財〕: 境内のほぼ中央に建つ、宗祖親鸞聖人の御真影ごしんねいを安置する真宗大谷派の崇敬の中心をなす重要な建物です。 正面76m、側面58m、高さ38mの規模をもつ世界最大級の木造建築物で、2019年に国の重要文化財に指定されています。 現在の御影堂は、蛤御門の変による焼失の後、 1895(明治28)年に再建されたもので、阿弥陀堂、御影堂門とともに2011(平成23)年の宗祖親鸞聖人七百五十回御遠忌の特別記念事業として大規模な修復がなされました。 堂内の正面中央に親鸞聖人の御真影が安置されており、左右には歴代門首の御影や第8代蓮如上人の御影、また十字・九字名号が掛けられています。 内陣・外陣に敷かれた畳をあわせると927畳にも及びます。 (東本願寺HPより)

名称 : 真宗本廟東本願寺 ふりがな : しんしゅうほんびょうひがしほんがんじ 棟名 : 御影堂 棟名ふりがな : ごえいどう 員数 : 1棟 種別 : 近代/宗教 時代 : 明治 年代 : 明治28 西暦 : 1895 構造及び形式等 : 桁行六三・六メートル、梁間四五・五メートル、二重、入母屋造、向拝三間、西面張出附属、すがる破風付葺きおろし、南面及び北面下屋付、西面南北前室付、本瓦葺 附・厨子 一基 桁行一間、梁間二間、入母屋造、正面軒唐破風付、本瓦型板   葺 ・造合廊下 一棟 桁行一三・九メートル、梁間五・五メートル、一重、唐破風   造、本瓦葺、南北阿弥陀堂と御影堂に接続 ・二筋廊下 一棟 桁行二三・〇メートル、梁間六・三メートル、一重二階建、   両下造、本瓦葺、南北阿弥陀堂と御影堂に接続 指定番号 : 2698 国宝・重文区分 : 重要文化財 重文指定年月日 : 2019.09.30(令和1.09.30) 重文指定基準1 : (一)意匠的に優秀なもの 重文指定基準2 : (二)技術的に優秀なもの 解説文: 真宗本廟東本願寺は,京都市街に壮大な伽藍を構える本山寺院である。現在の伽藍は元治元年(1864)の焼失後,幕末から昭和にかけて順次再興された。御影堂は明治28年の建立で,17世紀中葉以来の規模と形式を継承しており,我が国最大の平面規模をもつ雄壮な伝統木造建築である。御影堂と並立して両堂形式を構成する阿弥陀堂は,格式高く荘厳な内部空間を備えている。両堂の前には烏丸通に面してそれぞれ門を開き,御影堂門は我が国最大級の二重門である。比類ない規模と高い格式を備えた近代の木造寺院建築。 (文化庁:国指定文化財等データベースより) とにかく大きいのに驚きます。写真に納まりません。 The information board and website have almost the same content. Goeido (Important Cultural Property): This important building, located almost in the center of the temple grounds, is the center of reverence for the Otani-ha Shinshu sect and houses the portrait of the founder, Saint Shinran. It is one of the largest wooden buildings in the world, measuring 76m in width, 58m in length, and 38m in height, and was designated an Important Cultural Property by the government in 2019. The current Goeido was rebuilt in 1895 (Meiji 28) after being burned down in the Hamaguri Gomon Incident, and underwent large-scale restoration along with the Amida Hall and Goeido Gate as a special commemorative project for the 750th anniversary of the death of the founder, Saint Shinran, in 2011 (Heisei 23). The portrait of Saint Shinran is placed in the center of the front of the hall, and on the left and right are portraits of the successive head priests and the 8th priest Rennyo, as well as a cross and nine-character name. The total number of tatami mats in the inner and outer sanctuaries is 927. (From Higashi Honganji website)

An astonishing place in the heart of Kyoto, nearby the main station. Probably one of the most calm and quiet temples with free entry that can exists, while still setting the record for the largest wooden temple in the country. It certainly was an unusual, but pleasant surprise to stumble upon this on our morning walk through the city on...
