Nara Trip πΏ
P1 Nara National Museum Entrance πΈπ Because of the tight schedule, I gave up on the Todai-ji Temple and Yakushi-ji Temple on the left and headed to the National Museum on the right, only to find out it was closed despite it not being Monday... Standing at the entrance, I suddenly didn't know what to do. πΏI saw a large group of elementary school students (it felt like the entire school was out) and decided to follow them without any particular plan. I ended up at Todai-ji Temple, which was even more crowded. πΈπ It seemed like three whole elementary schools had made a pact to visit at the same time, in addition to the tourists. π P3 Todai-ji Temple πΏThe full ticket includes an exhibition hall outside the temple (I spent half a day looking for it inside the temple without realizing). The exhibition provides a general introduction to the history of Todai-ji and its cultural relics (the swords and armor were pretty cool). πΈπ You can also buy some souvenirs here (most of them are ugly and expensive, not as good as the "wholesale market" at Osaka Castle). #Kyoto #NaraTrip πΏ #TodaijiTemple ποΈ
