Kofuku-ji Temple
Alongside Todai-ji, this temple is the most renowned in Nara city. Its spacious grounds feature not only a five-story pagoda but also numerous halls. It's famous for housing many Buddha statues, with the Asura statue, in particular, being a favorite for its melancholic and youthful appearance. You can often witness the unique Nara scene of deer strolling in front of the five-story pagoda within the temple grounds.

This suspended temple within the Todai-ji complex is a remarkable architectural feat. It extends out from the cliff, symbolizing the pure land where the main deity, Kannon Bodhisattva, resides.

Kasuga Grand Shrine
Located in Nara Park, this shrine is dedicated to the ancestral deities of the Fujiwara clan, one of Japan's renowned noble families.
