Tōshōdaiji Temple

Tōshōdaiji Temple was founded in 759 by the esteemed Tang Dynasty monk, Ganjin Wajō, who overcame numerous hardships to reach Japan. Initially, the temple complex only included a lecture hall, a sutra repository, and a treasure house. However, in the late 8th century, Ganjin's disciples completed the construction of the Golden Hall. This majestic structure is widely recognized as a representative example of Nara period architecture. The serene temple grounds, enveloped in rich natural surroundings, house numerous national treasures and important cultural properties, including pagodas and statues that echo the grandeur of the ancient capital, Heijō-kyō. Over the centuries, Tōshōdaiji Temple has continued to inspire and captivate countless visitors.
