The sign says, "The Goju-No-To, or "Five Storey Pagoda" traditionally represents the five elements from which Buddhists believe all things in the universe are produces. In ascending order, the elements are earth, water, fire, wind and sky. Similar in design to the Horyuji Temple in Nara, this Goju-No-To stands nearly 83 feet tall. It is a true monument to the skills and accomplishments of early Japanese architects."
