What other travelers are saying about Omizutori (Shunie)
The Todai-ji temple in Nara is the largest wood structure in the world.
The temple, originally built in 752, is famous for housing the Great Buddha, a ginormous bronze statue.
This UNESCO World Heritage site marked the adoption of Buddhism as the state religion.
It was incredibly impressive to visit. And I witnessed a marriage proposal too!
Beautiful temple inside Nara Deer Park and a must see while in Nara. It’s definitely worth the trip coming up from the park and checking out this temple. Tickets are under 1000 yen and come with a bundle with the museum.
The Buddha is spectacular to look at and view. The structure made of wood is amazingly gorgeous.
A beautiful place of Buddhist worship and history. Well maintained and overwhelming by the size of the structures, both the temple and statues. A must visit for the views and a plus if it's part of your religion.
Spectacular temple! Entrance fee of 800Yen and totally worth it! The impressive temple building guards a huge Buddha statue with two others on its side. Built during the Nara period, this temple truly highlights any visit to Nara. Get your Goshuin stamp here and get good fortune by crawling through a really tight hole.
Absolutely amazing UNESCO world heritage site. The Buddha hall is grandiose in scale and there is a section where you can crawl through a pillar which was super unique and fun. There is a small museum which helps you understand the history of the site and was good enough for it's size. As usual there are many sections which are cordoned off from the public. I was surprised that they had signs here of all places informing the public to not approach the baby fowl/deer as the mothers abandon the baby if they get touched. I think this should be posted in more places. The Nara 🦌 outside the temple also make the entire experience very fun.
