This temple is located in Nara, Japan (between Osaka and Kyoto). In layman's term this was the Buddhist HQ for all of Japan. This is also the world largest wooden structure. The entire hall was reconstructed in the 1600's and took nearly 100 years to rebuild. The current structure is a fraction of the size it was before reconstruction. In Nara, you will see deers that roam freely! It's a sight to be seen because the deers are not shy and will come near you if you have food for them. Below is a map of the area. From the JR Line you will need to either take a bus or taxi to get to the temple. The entire temple complex is quite amazing. Inside the temple is home to one of the largest bronze statue of Buddah in Japan.
