Nara sightseeing

Nara was founded in 710 and was the capital of Japan untill 784. During this period Nara grew to be one of the most beautiful cities of Asia. Luckily many of the buildings survived the test of time, so that we can still admire them today. One of the things we most certainly will visit today is the Todai-ji, which is a large temple complex with in one of the temples the statue of the Large Buddha.
