Angkor Wat｜アンコール・ワット

The Mystique and Majestic Scale of Southeast Asia. One of the world's largest stone temples. Angkor Wat, located in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is the world's largest religious structure. Built in the early 12th century by King Suryavarman II of the Khmer Empire, it was originally a Hindu temple and later transformed into a Buddhist temple. It is believed to have served as a royal mausoleum, which is why the temple faces west instead of the usual east. Even today, Angkor Wat is featured on Cambodia's national flag, symbolizing its enduring significance to the nation. ⸻ 🕰【Opening Hours】 5:00 AM – 5:30 PM (Note: Be ready for sunrise viewing from 5:00 AM!) 📍【Location】 Approximately 15 minutes by tuk-tuk from Siem Reap city center 💸【Admission Fees】 ・1-Day Pass: $37 USD ・3-Day Pass: $62 USD (Recommended) ・7-Day Pass: $72 USD *Tickets must be purchased at a separate location, so advance purchase is recommended! ⸻ ☀️【Highlights】 ・Don't miss the iconic “Angkor Wat Sunrise Over the Pond”! ・The outer corridors are adorned with intricate bas-reliefs (especially the famous Churning of the Ocean of Milk mural) ・Climb to the central tower for breathtaking views (Note: Dress code applies) ⸻ ✨【Tips】 ・Start early in the morning!
