This is one of the main temples in Nara. No photos &¥ fee per usual, deer hanging out at the entrance. Can’t avoid it but I wouldn’t go out of the way to go in.

This is the biggest temple in Nara Park, you can purchase a ticket just outside of its gate. It is really beautiful inside but you cannot take pictures.

The treasure hall was next to the 5 storey pagoda. Entry fee required but you could see the impressive Buddhist relics and statues displays inside the hall. Worth the visit.

The fact that these carvings and casts have survived all these years is truly amazing. So many must have been lost in temple fires that happened over the centuries. Entry ticket for an additional sum will get you to see the "medicine Buddhas" in the To]kondo

The musuem is located next to the East Golden Hall and 5 storey pagoda.
We came here quite late and it was close already. Heard that they have pretty impressive Buddhist relics and statues on display inside.

There is so much going on at Kofuku-ji; so many things to see. I enjoyed the temple as much as the other structures at the complex.

I was frustrated because I had a scheduled visit to the temple, but when we arrived we discovered that it was in restoration ...

After extensive travels throughout Asia over a two-week period, we were a little tired of museums, all of which began to look the same. But this one was different, FINALLY!
An enormous thousand-armed Kannon serves as the centerpiece of the museum. The eight Devas and ten Great Disciples are in remarkable condition, especially the stunning Ashura statue viewed by millions, and all date back over 500 years. This museum is certainly worth visiting. And the cool air-conditioning offered a respite from the brutal summer heat.

This museum is world class and features some stunning and pretty ancient artifacts from Japans early years.
Features of statues of gods and deities are really stunningly displayed, in a manner that is reverent and informative to all visitors.
An excellent museum with good standard of facilities.
