Jurakudai - Hiunkaku

飛雲閣

Hiunkaku is one of three great pavilions in Kyoto including Ginkakuji and Kinkakuji. It is claimed to be a part of Hideyoshi's palace at Jurakudai that was moved to Nishi Honganji in 1632 but there is some skepticism about this too. Hiunkaku is in an enclosed section of Nishi Honganji which is typically only opened to the public on a few rare occasions. In 2023 and 2024 it was open for a few days each in the spring, otherwise the last time it was open was 2017. Hopefully this will become an annual occurrence.
