@10countriesin10yrs: Tōdai-ji was ¥600 (~$4). It holds one of Japan’s largest bronze Buddha statues. You have to see this for yourself, as videos and pictures doesn’t show the grandioseness. Kasuga Taisha - Location is on the opposite side of the city from the temple. It’s an uphill walk. You can walk through the shrine for a fee. On the sides of the building, you can see all of the lanterns. #nara #japan #shrine #buddha #todaijitemple #kasugataisha #solotravel #bucketlist #japantravel #history
