The Toji Temple Complex is a World Heritage Site located in Kyoto, Japan. With a series of structures and a fine, tall wooden pagoda, and beautiful gardens, Toji remains a popular temple to visit in Kyoto. The temple was first built between 794-796 CE by decree of Emperor Kammu (r. 781-806 CE). In 823 CE, the temple was given to Kukai (774-835 CE) by the Emperor Saga (r. 809-823 CE). (He is known widely as "Kobo Daishi.") It was Kukai who founded the Shingon School of Buddhism.
