The Giant Sanmon Gate (22 meters high), often seen in movies such as Lost in Translation, stands at the entryway to the Nanzen-ji Temple complex. Built-in 1628, the gate holds importance within Japanese Buddhism and also offers a beautiful view of Kyoto upon climbing the stairs (with an admission fee). I think it is totally worth it, not only for the view but also because the hall on the inside of the gate is really beautiful.
