The head tower is an earthen tower located in Takahata-cho, Nara City. It is 30 meters long, 10 meters high, and has 7 steps. The head tower was built in the 11th year of Taisho (1922) and is a nationally designated historic site in Japan. According to records, the head tower was built by monks in the Nara period. In Showa 52 (1977), 13 stone Buddhas were exposed, and 14 more were excavated later. Experts restored the northern part of the head tower, while retaining the southern part in the state when it was excavated. The step casting of the head tower and the degree of change are uniform, and the reduction distance of each section is the same, which is very precise.
