#004｜Famous for the “Great Buddha of Nara”, a temple with many national treasures [Todaiji] (Nara)

The spot I would like to recommend today is Todaiji Temple in Nara Prefecture. Todaiji Temple has many national treasures, such as the statue of Kongo Rikishi, the Great Buddha Hall, and the Nigatsu-do Hall.

In particular, the Great Buddha of Nara is a must-see, and its size is overwhelming.
The bell tower of Todaiji Temple, famous for its New Year’s Eve bell, is one of Japan’s top three bells, and is rung every day at 8pm.
In addition, there is “Nara Park” nearby, and you can see deer everywhere and interact with them.
Todaiji Temple has a lot to offer and is a sightseeing spot that can be enjoyed throughout the day.

〇Comment
The first thing I saw was the Nandaimon gate of Todaiji Temple, which was so magnificent that I stared at it for a long time.
And, as expected, it is called “Great Buddha of Nara”, and the power is amazing.
If you come to Nara Prefecture, you should see it once.
The udon I ate on the way home was really delicious with the noodles being chewy.
Persimmon leaf sushi soaked in soup is…

◯Directions
From JR Nara Station or Kintetsu Nara Station, get off at the city circulation bus “Todaiji Daibutsuden/Kasugataisha-mae” and walk for 5 minutes.
