Genkoan Temple in Kyoto is a unique spot that tells a story through its eerie yet beautiful features. The temple's main hall boasts a "bloody ceiling" made from floorboards of a castle where samurai shed their blood in a historic battle. The garden changes with the sunlight, and two famous windows symbolize enlightenment and human afflictions. It's a place where history, philosophy, and nature come together for a memorable experience in Kyoto.
