This belfry is in Chion-in temple, Kyoto. Following the site of the temple, The Belfry is 3.3 meter hight, 2.8 meter bore diameter, and around 7,000 kg. In addition, it is made in 1636. There are a lot of the belfry in Japan, but I have never seen this kind of size. Japanese people strike the bell 108 times when they spend year-crossing day. It is one of important Japanese culture as year schedule.
