The Daibutsu Of Nara In The Gentle LightsTodai-ji Temple
One of the most famous temples, Todai-ji in Nara. What I want to tell you specially, is 'Mantou Kuyoue' Ceremony on August 15th. The expression of The Daibutsu in the candle lights has something that cannot be told you by only pictures. It's impressive so much.
The Largest Wooden Structure In The World, Daibutsu-denTodai-ji Temple
It represents the prosperity in Nara Era (around the 700s). In the building, a large monumental image of Buddha is installed and many people visit here. It's said that it was larger before burnt down.
