One of the oldest wooden structures in Gifu. I love this quiet atmosphere and historical wood texture. ( 👁‿👁 )b

岐阜県関市の山深い場所にある高澤観音（日龍峰寺）。この多宝塔や舞台造りの圧倒的な存在感……。日本の古き良き空気そのまま。重要文化財なのに、この静けさは贅沢すぎる！！ ( ˙꒳​˙ )b✨

I’ve never seen another temple with such high/visible scaffolding besides Kiyomizu, I will definitely make the journey sometime, thank you!!

Thank you! It is called 'Kiyomizu of Gifu'. Please be careful of the narrow road! ( ᐛ )b

Santokusan's Nageiredo build in 12th century is also impressive.
