#OctoberTravelSupport 📍 Todai-ji Temple Review This was the most impressive place during my Nara trip. The sheer scale of the temple was truly overwhelming as soon as I entered. As I walked along the path, I saw deer roaming freely, which immediately brought home the peaceful atmosphere of Nara. 🦌 They weren't afraid of people at all, so it was cute how they would approach and ask for snacks. Inside the main hall is the Daibutsu (Great Buddha), one of the largest statues of Buddha in Japan. Seeing it in person is truly breathtaking. Not only was the statue impressive, but the intricate carvings and the balance of the structure were truly breathtaking. 🙏 The quiet and calm atmosphere inside naturally brought a sense of peace and tranquility. The grounds are spacious, making for a leisurely stroll, and there are plenty of photo opportunities. 📸 There's an entrance fee, but it's well-maintained, making it well worth it. The path from Todaiji Temple to Nara Park was also beautiful, making it a perfect day trip.🌿 📍 Address: 406-1 Zoshicho, Nara, 630-8211, Japan 🕒 Hours: 8:00–17:00 (subject to seasonal variation) 🎫 Admission: Adults 600 yen / Children 300 yen

Nara! A Heartwarming Journey with Playful Deer

Todai-ji Daibutsuden (Great Buddha Hall)

Step into timeless tranquility at Nara’s Todai-ji Temple—where history, spirituality, and jaw-dropping grandeur await! 🐘⛩️ Towering over the city, the Great Buddha statue (Daibutsu) inside Todai-ji’s Daibutsuden is genuinely awe-inspiring; its sheer size and serene gaze make for one unforgettable moment. Your best route: Start early (doors open as early as 7:30 AM in spring/summer!), and stroll along the tree-lined path from Nara Park, mingling with the friendly deer before reaching the temple. Must-dos include standing before the immense Daibutsu, marveling at the wooden Great Buddha Hall—one of the largest of its kind in the world—and squeezing through the “healing pillar” inside the hall (said to bring luck if you fit through!). Snag the most insta-worthy shot of the Daibutsuden’s facade right after sunrise when morning mist hovers, or from the side path lined with lanterns for a traditional frame! Don’t skip the map of Nara’s historic precinct outside the gate for a bird’s-eye photo. Top tips: Arrive early to avoid the crowds and appreciate the peaceful vibe. If visiting in autumn or spring, the temple grounds glow with seasonal beauty. Shoes must be removed in some areas, so slip-on footwear is easiest. Bring cash—admission is paid at the entrance. Closed-toe shoes are handy for walking gravel paths. Key precautions: Watch your belongings—the deer roaming the park are curious, especially about paper maps or tickets! Respect the calm inside the hall and no flash photos of the Buddha. #Nara #TodaiJi #GreatBuddha #TempleTrip #JapanTravel
