Yakushiji Temple: A Historic Gem of Nara

Yakushiji Temple holds a significant place in the history of Japanese Buddhism, preserving the essence of the ancient Nara period. The serene temple grounds feature stunning East and West Pagodas and the Golden Hall, whose balanced architectural beauty is truly awe-inspiring when viewed from the front. Particularly memorable is the Yakushi Nyorai seated statue, exuding both majesty and a compassionate expression. With relatively few visitors, the temple offers a tranquil space for reflection and is highly recommended as a spot to quietly appreciate the ancient culture of Nara.
