After finishing the trip of Ikomasanjo Amusement Park, we got off at Nishinokyō Station. As soon as getting off the train, we saw a large stone tablet standing on the platform with the characters "Yakushi-Ji Temple written on it. After leaving the station, we walked for about 5 minutes to reach Yakushi-Ji Temple.
Yakushi-Ji Temple occupies a large area, and its overall appearance is mainly red, which is quite solemn. The most eye-catching buildings are the East Pagoda and West Pagoda standing on both sides of the hall.
When we visited, the two pagodas happened to be open to tourists. There were statues of the four heavenly kings as well as sculptures of Buddha's life inside.
It is said that Yakushi-Ji Temple was established in 680 AD, which has a history of more than 1,300 years, and is listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO.
結束生駒山上遊園地的行程後，我們在西之京站下車。一下車就看到月台上佇立著一塊大石碑，上面寫著藥師寺幾個大字。出了車站，步行約莫5分鐘，就到達了藥師寺。
藥師寺占地很大，整體外觀以紅色為主，相當莊嚴、肅穆。最引人注目的就是主殿兩側的東塔和西塔。
我們參觀的時候，恰好兩座塔有開放參觀。塔裡有四大天王的塑像，以及描述釋迦摩尼佛一生的雕塑。
據說藥師寺是設立於西元680年，距今已經有1300多年的歷史了，並且被聯合國教科文組織列為世界文化遺產。
