The Buddhist holy place in Japan is the main field of the Japanese master of the Suga. We went to play in the autumn red leaf season. The red leaves on both sides of Omotesando are very beautiful. It is the famous place for the island countries to enjoy the red leaves. The Jingangfeng Temple is built by the master of the Suga. You can visit it in slippers and it is also a world cultural heritage.

#2 of Best Things to Do in Nara

Victor22
Very pure and impressively massive wooden temple , the largest wooden building in the world , with a serene and grand bronze statue of Buddha inside, one of the largest Buddha figures on earth. I first visited Nara and Todaiji almost 40 years ago. Nara is a quiet city. The sightseeing of Todaiji and the Nara park, with its adorable and sometimes a bit naughty deers, brings you a genuine moment of joy and tranquility.

It was quite a long walk from Nara station to reach the temple, but there are so many sightseeing spots in between, so you don't really feel the long walk. The temple gives off very tranquil feeling.

Castles

Sander van Vliet
If you are planning to visit a castle, this one is much of a better choice than Hiroshima or Osaka castle. For a simple reason; this one is real, the others are fake. From Himeji station it's a 15-20 minute walk, passing by different shops with souvenirs and other stuff. The park of the castle itself is not impressive but the castle, completely manufactured out of wood, is something special and very well preserved. I'm sure tons of rework and maintenance is being carried out to keep it in it's original shape but it remains cool to walk through. There is a designated walking route through the castle which brings you all the way to the top floor with some great views over Himeji. After your visit, it's totally worth visiting the neighboring garden Koko-en. I would say, for both the castle and graden, a 2,5 to 3 hours is enough traveling time excluded.

I think it is a very good monastery. If you listen to the explanation of the interpreter, you can learn how Buddhist monks live here. There is a tea room with free tea. No photos can be taken inside.

The two cities tour routes and the Chinese guide book are doing very well. It is the most organized scenic spot in Japan for a week of free travel. ~ worth a visit! The Chinese guide book at the door must remember to take it!

游侠半仙
The Phoenix Hall is a resembling the official hall of the Jingshi, consisting of the left wing corridor and tail corridor of the middle hall. It is a building not found elsewhere. The hall brings together the most outstanding treasures of the Ping An era's pure land teaching art, including the only existing Amitabha milk carved by the Buddha-made master Ding Dynasty, as well as 52 statues of the Bodhisattva in the clouds, and 9 murals painted by Amitabha to welcome the picture. To visit the Phoenix Hall of the Equality Academy, you need to queue up to buy a tour coupon first. There is an entry time for the tour coupon. You need to go on time. There is an artificial Japanese explanation for the entrance tour and you cannot take pictures. The Japanese ten yuan coin pattern is the Equality Academy.

It was the capital of Nara, Japan, and the entire palace was a typical Tang style. Although it was forgotten and even razed after the move, the site has now been reconstructed. At present, you can see the restored Zhuque Gate and various historical materials and cultural relics.

Faqi Temple, a small monastery in the northeast countryside of Falong Temple, World Heritage Site. Why is this small monastery worth a special visit? The triple tower in the temple is the oldest existing pagoda in Japan, enough. The monastery is small and exquisite, elegant and simple, because there are few tourists, quiet and comfortable. There is a courtyard, there are mountains and stones, there are pools, there are flowers and plants, there are ancient towers, quiet and beautiful.

We were pretty shocked that this shrine is small. You get a view of the surroundings if you pay the entrance fee of 500yen to enter. The gardens are very well maintaned and really quite pretty!Worth a visit only if you have alot of spare time.
