Most serene temple, grounds and neighborhood.

One of the top places I have been in Japan. This temple has a one-of-a-kind original example of a nine-Amida statue hall of a kind common to the late Heian Period almost 1000 years ago. There is also a pagoda housing another ancient statue of Yakushi. the Buddha of healing. The entire garden centered around a placid pond represents a journey through the western paradise of Amida Buddha. The garden was extensively restored in the 1970s to a likeness of its state in the Heian Period. There is access by bus to Nara or paid parking. It's becoming a bit tourist-oriented but is still big enough to ensure some quiet. Currently, long-term restoration is taking place, so best check before going.

Namo Shakyamuni Buddha, i promised i will cone and pray to Shakyamuni Buddha,if possible, i would like to offering water to Buddha.

Absolutely beautiful, but the 4 stars is bc the toilet (no flush, just a deep hole) made me freak out and jump outside :8
