Todaiji Temple in Nara is an absolute must-see!

After wandering through the deer park, you’ll find yourself walking down a scenic path that leads straight to this stunning temple.

It’s huge and so peaceful, and I loved how you could feel the history as you walked around.

The massive Buddha statue inside is impressive! I also took a moment to receive a blessing while I was there, which was a lovely touch.
