Day 7 – Nara

I took a day trip to Nara which is a former Imperial capital of Japan.  It is in fact the first Imperial capital in 700s AD.  It was know as Heijō-kyō then.

Tōdai-ji Temple 東大寺

My first stop after getting a day pass for the bus was Tōdai-ji Temple.  It is home to the largest Buddha statue in Japan.

Kasuga Taisha Shrine 春日大社

I visited the Kasuga Taisha Shrine.  It is a beautiful shrine with vibrant orange color.
