This temple is not on everyone's list, but it's situation surrounded by forest makes it special. The complex is easily reached in the South East of Nara Park, only maybe 15 minutes walk from Todaiji..... more »

It was a good stroll after a heavy breakfast and family time enjoying the scenery and deers along the way. Among the best temples and not to miss. more »
