Very pure and impressively massive wooden temple , the largest wooden building in the world , with a serene and grand bronze statue of Buddha inside, one of the largest Buddha figures on earth. I first visited Nara and Todaiji almost 40 years ago. Nara is a quiet city. The sightseeing of Todaiji and the Nara park, with its adorable and sometimes a bit naughty deers, brings you a genuine moment of joy and tranquility.

It was quite a long walk from Nara station to reach the temple, but there are so many sightseeing spots in between, so you don't really feel the long walk. The temple gives off very tranquil feeling.

The word Jianzhen Dongdu should be heard by many people, telling the story of Tang Dynasty monk Dongdu Japan spreading Buddhism and advanced Chinese culture. Tang Zhaoti Temple in Nara is the temple built by the Japanese for Jianzhen after the arrival of the temple, and there are many monuments and structures left in the past.

It belongs to one of Nara Park. The five-fold tower is being repaired. The Zhongjintang receives🎫 500 yen. The Buddha statue inside is very spectacular. There are many foreigners visiting, but unfortunately no photos are allowed!

Remember 2019.11 Kansai late autumn trip~ Come to Kyoto, Fushimi Inari Dashe must come to worship, not only because of the spectacular thousands of birds, but also for the beautiful scenery of the mountains, pious prayer. The fox is the messenger of the god Inari, which is visible everywhere here, and is a symbol and representative of Fushimi Inari Dashe. There are many kinds of big shrines and Yushou. I really like them. There are many fox gods on them. The types of prayer are also varied, ringing bells, moving stones, etc. As long as there is a pious heart, the wishes can be realized. There are a lot of tourists who come here to pray for blessings, and thousands of birds are concentrated in a lot of people queuing to take pictures. Walking all the way to the mountain, it was getting wider and wider, the crowd was gradually away, and the scenery was getting more and more charming, but unfortunately it was cloudy that day. After climbing for a while, I read the road map and felt that it would take me2-3 hours to travel all over the mountain. Time was limited, so I climbed halfway down and started to go down, I think I will have a chance to come again next time. Although compared with the maple tour a few days ago, Fushimi Inari Dashe did not leave me any amazing red maple picture, but the rich and varied Dashe still makes my heart full of good feelings.

Remember that the February hall on the mountainside has two large steps, one side is a stone road, relatively slow, the other side is a wooden step, very steep, the building and the composition of the mountain is very harmonious, up to overlook a long place.

A bit far from the city, I waited for 20 minutes from Tang Zhaoti Temple and didn't come by bus. I walked to the attraction for 16:28 minutes, only 30 minutes left! Really good!

Remember 2019.11 Kansai Late Autumn Festival~ Yasaka Shrine is not far from the hotel where you live, and you can walk. Sometimes you pass by when you go to other attractions in the morning, and pass by when you return at night. You wear a kimono that day and go to Yasaka Shrine to make a card. The different scenes of the Yasser Shrine during the day and night are appreciated. The scenery is charming and beautiful against the blue sky and white clouds, and the lanterns that light up in the shrine are particularly solemn and quiet under the dusk. Different scenery, completely different feelings. The Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto is relatively large and holds a Gion sacrifice every year. The people who come to Yasaka Shrine to pray for blessings are endless and very popular. Next to the Yasaka Shrine is Yuanshan Park, you can visit together.
