Kofukuji Temple used to be the family temple of the powerful Fujiwara clan. Established in 710, it boasts historic buildings like a five-storied pagoda and a three-storied pagoda. The temple's Central Golden Hall recently reopened after reconstruction, and the National Treasure Museum showcases impressive Buddhist art. Don't miss the famous three-faced, six-armed Ashura Statue! Plus, you can wander the temple grounds for free, soaking in the serene atmosphere day or night.
