The Garden With Dears – The Temple Todai-ji
The temple with lots of dears was located in Nara, and it called Todai-ji. I looked over the Wikipedia for the name. According to the Wikipedia, it is a Buddhist temple complex which has the world largest wooden building, the Great Buddha Hall. (Daibutsuden)
On the way to the temple, (It was such a long way.) there were so many dears, and students with the same uniforms. Not dears, but students were so excited to see Caucasians; they all wanted to take pictures with them. After paid about five or more dollars, we all went into the huge temple. Inside the temple, there was a huge Buddha, which was hard to capture in the camera.
I bought some lucky charms there. The temple is a listed UNESCO World Heritage site as “Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara,” together with seven other sites including temples, shrines and places in the city of Nara. Sika deer, regarded as messengers of the gods in the Shinto religion, roam the ground freely.
