ASUKA Nara Japan Ancient Historical TACHIBANA Buddhist Temple Stone Megaliths Palace



This temple is part of the cycling route.  Although it is at the top of a hill, it is definitely worth seeing.


The 2 faced stone represents the good and evil nature of humans.


No one knows who carved the faces or when they were carved.


We spent about 1 hour at the temple.  We would have stayed longer but it was getting dark.


Most of the building can be entered.  The 2 photos below were taken from the outside.



There are over 260 hand painted pictures of flowers on the ceiling.


This building with the pictures on the ceiling can be entered.  The pictures appear renovated.
