Amazing Place, especially the Great Buddha. I got to see Todaiji at night, but it's surely spectacular during daytime as well! I hope you have a great stay.

A Unesco World Heritage site. It is a must-see but comparatively to other big buddha's, this one is just alright. Covid travel restrictions have really affected visitor numbers.

As for the statue, considering the age and size, it is impressive. Worthy of a visit, if anything, to admire the engineering involved to build such a big structure. Not something we will visit again but we are glad we saw it. A must-see in Nara.…
