Mathew Fedley 4 years ago

Small temple known for 12 statues of the warriors of heaven. Photography is allowed outside but not inside. Costs 600 yen to enter and some basic English explanations is provided in places for those who are interested.

Very quiet temple and worth to visit. The statues of 12 gods surrounding around Buddha are great.

Yakushi-nyorai and his twelve guardians are main symbols in this temple. Visitors are not much compare with other tourist temple. so we can stay calmly till full of own sprit. Entrance fee 600jpy but this is well worth a visit. 2019_04

The 12 gods are impressive, but not really my cup of tea as I prefer temples with beautiful gardens (probably due to the fact that I am not a Buddhist).

One of my favourite places in Nara. The sculptures of the 12 generals were amazing. Unfortunately you are not allowed to take photos inside.
