Nara Japan Ancient Buddhist TOSHODAIJI TEMPLE National Treasures Buildings Objects


English information is available but limited.


We spent about 90 minutes in this large temple complex.


Some of the buildings are designated as National Treasures.


We did not take photographs of the places being renovated.


There are many things designated as National Treasures.


The wood work in this temple complex is incredible.


The ancient style of making buildings is quite unique.  The logs are triangular.  They are not round.


This is the only place I have ever seen triangular logs used to construct buildings.


The photographs were taken December 11, 2017.
