Japan's Todai-ji Temple 🏮🌸

Todai-ji Temple is: 🏮 The world's largest wooden structure 🏮 Home to the world's largest bronze Buddha statue 🏮 A UNESCO World Heritage Site in Japan 🌿 What left me in awe was not just the grand Daibutsu-den (Great Buddha Hall), 🏮🌸but also the journey to the left of the exit, up the stone stairs leading to the Sangatsu-do (Hoke-do), Nigatsu-do (rebuilt in 1669), and Teppei-zan Hachiman-gu Shrine. 🌺 🏮🌸Compared to the bustling atmosphere of the Great Buddha Hall, Nigatsu-do is somewhat quieter and more serene. Walking on the streets that date back to the Tang Dynasty 🏮🌸 I forgot the boundaries of time and slowly immersed myself in the legacy of the Tang era, gaining a sense of reality for that distant and unfamiliar period. 🍃 🏮🌸 Most importantly, it was here that I witnessed the sunset of life 🌄. 🏮🌸The sunlight before sunset cast on my face was breathtakingly beautiful 😭. 🏮🌸Time seemed to stand still in that moment, so healing. Along the way, you can feed the adorable deer with 🦌 Senbei (special rice crackers)! 🌸🌿 🏮🌸 #Japan #Travel 🍃
