Tōdai-ji (東大寺) @ Nara,Japan
December 13, 2013
Todaiji (東大寺, Tōdaiji, "Great Eastern Temple") is one of Japan's most famous and historically significant temples and a landmark of Nara.
The approach to Todaiji is amazing; there are lots of deer and people, and shops with souvenirs and food line the route. You walk through the Nandaimon Gate, an impressive wooden gate with two fierce statues inside it. You can't see the main hall until you purchase your ticket. Its the world's largest wooden building and its truly impressive. The building houses an enormous bronze Buddha statue.
The deer at Nara park are wild animal they can attack people suddenly. So be careful!
Open 0800-1700 every day.
Entrance fee is 500 yen per person.
