In addition to its historical and architectural significance, Hō-ō-dō is also known as one of the most beautiful autumn foliage spots in Japan. Many tourists visit in the fall season when the foliage is beautifully colored. Special admission is offered during the peak season from November to December. Hō-ō-dō is also famous for being depicted on the Japanese 10-yen coin.
In 2014, the roof was replaced and the columns repainted, giving the building a fresh new look. Access to Hō-ō-dō is a 10-minute walk from JR Uji Station, or a 10-minute drive from Uji Higashi Interchange on the Keiji Bypass. There is no dedicated parking lot, but some souvenir shops in the area offer parking for 700 yen per day.
Adult: 700 yen
Middle and high school students: 400 yen
