One of the most significant temples of Japan that is featured in numerous Japanese textbooks.
I highly recommend visiting either early morning or evening during sunset for less crowd and more serene atmosphere. You can also take a tour if you want to learn more about the temple and its important relics.

About:
Kofukuji Temple in Nara, Japan, was 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 grounds are free to enter, but there are fees for certain areas like the Central Golden Hall and National Treasure Museum. Don't miss the impressive art collection, including the famous Ashura Statue with three faces and six arms. Plus, check out the reconstructed Central Golden Hall and the Eastern Golden Hall with its Yakushi Buddha statue.
