If you think this classic furled-roof temple looks familiar, take a look at a 10-yen coin and you’ll see why. One of Japan's most famous temples (and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the temple’s 11th-century Phoenix Hall graces the coin and the 10,000-yen note. It’s also one of the best examples of Heian-era architecture.
