Message from Alena Trittibach

Todaiji Temple in Nara is a must-visit spot in Nara. Home to a massive bronze statue of Buddha, this temple was once the most powerful in Japan, influencing even the capital's location. Don't miss the Nandaimon Gate with its fierce statues or the other smaller halls and sites within the temple complex.
