Uji is not only Phoenix Hall - another interesting attraction is Kōshō-ji. The complex consists of historic buildings, a beautiful rock garden.
In 1233, after returning from a study mission to China, Dogen Zenji founded Kosho-ji, the first Soto temple in Fukakusa, south of the ancient capital of Kyoto. During medieval fighting, a fire destroyed the complex. In 1648, the local ruler Nagai Naomasa rebuilt it in Uji, in its current location.
