Desolate but calming. You've suddenly traveled back in time, to 13th Century Korea, and you're surronded by intricate and priceless blocks of wood, carved with the oldest and most complete version of Buddhist canon-- the Tripitaka Koreana. The archiceture is simple-- crafted specifically to care for the woodblocks to give it proper tempreture, moisture control, and air circulation. Monks, robed and serene add to the spiritual experience as they walk around between the aisle of wooden shelves, dedicated to the conservation of these Buddhist artifacts.

Light peeks in from the outside through wooden slats, gently grazing the carved wood blocks that hold a thousand years of Buddhist wisdom. The Janggyeong Panjeon is a depository of knowledge, dating as far back as the 13th century within the beautiful Haeinsa Temple complex. The library is humble in appearance; but, as you will find in many locations in East Asia, the simpler spots have an abundance of still beauty to them. Its most ornamental feature are the carved and painted beams that support the ceiling, endless wooden blocks shelved throughout the length of the hall. These 80,000 woodblocks are called the Tripitaka Koreana—priceless volumes of Buddhist canon. Robed monks, trained in their preservation, walk about the room, making you feel as if you’ve stepped back in time.

Sensoji Temple (Asakusa Kannon Temple)
Sensō-ji (金龍山浅草寺, Kinryū-zan Sensō-ji) is an ancient Buddhist temple located in Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan. It is Tokyo's oldest temple, and one of its most significant. Formerly associated with the Tendai sect of Buddhism, it became independent after World War II. Adjacent to the temple is a five-story pagoda, the Asakusa Shinto shrine,[1] as well as many shops with traditional goods in the Nakamise-dōri. When we went there there’s a lot of people. If you have kids and still riding a stroller, they have a lift so you can enter the temple. I will recommend this place.
