 ==Origin==
-A Buddhist temple in the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]] city of {{wp|Kyoto, Japan|Kyoto}} is known as {{wp|Ginkaku-ji}}. Unlike its counterpart, {{wp|Kinkaku-ji}}, which is covered in gold leaf, this temple is ''not'' covered in silver leaf, though this was originally intended. A statue of avian likeness rest atop each of the two real world towers.
+Ecruteak City's Bell Tower is likely based on a mixture of two temples in the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]] city of {{wp|Kyoto, Japan|Kyoto}}.
+One of them is a Buddhist temple in Kyoto known as {{wp|Ginkaku-ji}}. Unlike its counterpart, {{wp|Kinkaku-ji}}, which is covered in gold leaf, this temple is ''not'' covered in silver leaf, though this was originally intended. A statue of avian likeness rest atop each of the two real world towers.
+The other likely basis for the Bell Tower is a temple in Kyoto called {{wp|Tō-ji}} (East Temple). The temple's pagoda is the tallest in Japan, and it once had a twin temple in the west of Kyoto, called {{wp|Sai-ji}}. Just like in the legend of the Burned Tower in Ecruteak's west and the Bell Tower in its east, the western temple of Sai-ji was burned long ago, while To-ji (in the east), still stands today.
