  • 3. Todai-ji 東大寺 Daibutsuden - the Great Buddha Hall Todaiji shelters the world's largest bronze statue of Buddha: Daibutsu or Great Buddha.  The Daibutsuden is the world's largest wooden building despite the fact that the reconstruction of 1692 is only two thirds of its original size. The casting of the bronze Great Buddha involved a huge proportion of the population and nearly bankrupted early Japan because of the enormous amounts of gold, wood and bronze needed.  Today wild deer, regarded as messengers of the gods, roam the area.

  • The Great Buddha of Nara belongs to Todaiji Temple, located in the ancient capital of Nara.  The construction of Todaiji, was completed in 752 with the aim, not only to house the Great Buddha image, but also to consolidate the position of the city as Japan's capital and powerful center of Buddhism. The Great Buddha Hall, called "Daibutsu-Den", the main hall of Todaiji, was rebuilt several times. The current structure, completed in 1709, is only two-thirds of the original size, but is still the largest wooden building in the world. The seated figure inside is the world's largest bronze image of Buddha. The Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara were registered as UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site.
