Cool building on the 1st coin.
Thanks for your help,

First two are from Japan, third from Taiwan (Republic of China).

The first is a Japanese 10 yen from 1963 and the second is a 1962 100 yen. The third is an ROC 1 chiao from "year 44." I can't remember when the republic started. 1912?

Byo-Do-In Ho-o-Do (Kyoto, Kyoto prefecture)
Byo-Do-In Ho-o-Do is a Japanese national treasure and has been registered as a World Cultural Treasure by UNESCO. During the Heian period it was originally a retreat owned by Fujiwara no Michinaga and was converted into a temple by his son Yorimichi. It is an airy and graceful Buddhist structure representing the beauty of Japanese construction. It is named Ho-o-Do because the central hall flanked by two wings with a corridor behind looks phoenix-like, the mythical bird known as Ho-o. A Ho-o effigy is displayed at the ridge

Yup. It's a 1955 Taiwanese coin.
