Kofuku-ji

Remember 2019.11 Kansai Late Autumn Walk~ Xingfu Temple is very close to Kintetsu Nara Station, just a few minutes walk away, and there are deer along the street. The highest temperature on this day in late November was 20 degrees. The huge venue of Xingfu Temple was just a few times in front of the temple and the high tower. I had been sweating. I came back and checked the information before I knew that Xingfu Temple contained so many buildings: there were Zhongjintang, Dongjintang, Nanyuantang, Beiyuantang, Five-Tower, Triple Tower, Dayutang, etc. At that time, I didn't carefully distinguish it, but I bought tickets to enter Zhongjintang to visit. You can't take pictures inside, everyone visits quietly and prays, and there are not many tourists. The monastery always gives people a sense of tranquility and peace, and feels relaxed and happy. Dongjintang is next to the five-fold tower, and Nanyuantang is a building with a hexagonal spire. Each temple should be purchased separately to enter.

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!

Very important temple, also a large monastery, the first monastery of Nara Park, the five towers are very eye-catching, here is a lot of people wearing kimonos, very local cultural characteristics.

One of Nara's world heritage sites, it is only a stone's throw away from Kintetsu Nara Station. You can see the sign of Xingfu Temple in a few steps. The five-fold tower is illuminated by lights at night and is beautiful. Unfortunately, it will be repaired soon, and there will be a period of time that will not be seen.

In October, it was a bit dark. Although the hall is closed, you can also look outside. Otherwise, I don't know when I will come next time. In other words, is Xingfu Temple at night mysterious? 😁

Antique, a good place to feel calm, well preserved, very Japanese style recommended!
