Featuring a heart-shaped window and 160 exquisite paintings across its ceiling, it’s clear a lot of love has gone into creating the perfect ambience at Shoju-in Temple in southeastern Kyoto Prefecture.
Said to have first been built around 800 years ago, Shoju-in remains a place of worship for locals, though more recently becoming popular among travellers for its undeniably beautiful aesthetic. Its eye-catching heart shape window is a traditional Japanese pattern representing good fortune and blessings – so it’s no surprise, its nickname is the ‘Window of Happiness’. 💕
