After visiting many shrines and temples, the Daibutsuden Hall in Todai-ji temple, Nara, was perhaps the most impressive I've ever seen.
Located in Nara which is roughly 45 minutes train ride out of Osaka, it is the world's largest wooden building. Inside lies an impressive array of Buddhist deities. When we visited, school students were also visiting taking part in what appeared to be a ritual for end of year studies.
Nara is also famous for many deer that wander all over the parks and surrounding temples. They are regarded as heavenly animals who protect the city and the country.
