Nara|The world’s largest wooden building·Todaiji Temple

📖 I have to say❗️I was a little shocked when I first saw Todaiji Temple. A grand Tang Dynasty style wooden building Although it has been rebuilt after several wars, it still stands tall and strong Currently known as the largest wooden building in the world You can also see the world’s largest bronze Buddha statue here🪨 Many national treasures and historical relics have made this place a world cultural heritage💎 ⛩️ Todaiji Temple is the headquarters of the Keyan Sect in Japan Also known as the Great Huayan Temple and the Golden Four Heavenly Kings Protecting the Country Temple As one of the 7️⃣big temples in Nandu It has a history of 1,200 years Todaiji Temple is 0.8 kilometers wide from east to west and 1 kilometer long from north to south. Via Todaiji Temple 👀 It seems that you can get a glimpse of the scale of the giant temple in Luoyang, Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty 🔥Must see 1️⃣ The main hall, the Great Buddha Hall, was 11 rooms wide when it was first built, and was 88 meters wide. It is a classic double-shaped mountain top⛰️There is a pair of golden hook-shaped "evil kisses" on the top Although this pair of owl kisses cannot be compared with the gorgeousness of our country's owl kisses But from a historical perspective, it is indeed a masterpiece that is most in line with the legacy of the Tang Dynasty❗️ 🔥Must see 2️⃣ Enshrined in the middle of the golden hall is the famous bronze Buddha statue "Lushena Buddha" The Buddha is 15 meters tall and weighs 500 tons. It is also the largest bronze Buddha statue in the world❗️ Legend has it that all the copper from Japan was poured into the construction of this Buddha statue. There is also a bronze octagonal lantern at the entrance of the main hall. It is the oldest octagonal lantern in Japan🏮 🌍Address 406-1Zoshicho,Nara,630-8211 🎫Ticket: 500 yen ✅Todaiji Temple and Todaiji Museum combo ticket: 1,200 yen 🔥Multilingual free explanation service is also provided 🚃Transportation Take JR and get off at JR Nara Station Take the Kintetsu Nara Line and get off at Kintetsu Nara Station About 40 minutes from Osaka About 50 minutes from Kyoto 🛤️ A national treasure building in Nara that is definitely worth visiting Be sure to arrange time to visit the museum👀
