Todai-ji

One of my favorite temples in Japan/world. Huge grand mass and scale that isn’t able to be captured via pictures. They unfortunately started making you pay to see the inside of the temple in the past couple years, but it’s absolutely worth the 600yen/person admission. A must do if you are in Kyoto/Osaka

This site is home to one of the most spectacular wooden structures on Earth. This Buddhist temple is elegantly designed and larger than any picture could ever display. Inside is where you can find the famous colossal Buddha. It is magnificent and a true sight to see!

Very majestic temple! Admission fee of 600 yen. Inside there are old statues, as well as a huge Buddha statue. Lots of deer around outside of the temple. Can be a bit crowded, but not too bad Would recommend going here for anyone interested in history, temples and old statues. Probably even prettier in better weather (went here on a rainy day)!

Absolutely incredible. The best structure and item I have seen in the whole of Japan. It has the world's largest Buddhist statue and the temple architecture is just incredible. Forget the deer, just come for this. I was shocked at the whole structure at how amazing it is.

One of the iconic and favourite must-visit spot for locals and tourists. Entrance fee is required to view the iconic Buddha statue and the temple history. The entrance hall is really huge and big, although it has been restructured to protect the original framework. Definitely worth to visit, also there's a beautiful garden in the front and side. Gets really crowded during day time.
