The second page of "Your Destinations in Japan" is now uploaded.
The second page is "Gangoji Temple" in Nara.
The Gangoji Temple was originally built in 593 by SOGANO Umako.
Currently only two halls remain. These are Main Hall of Gokuraku-Bo and Zen Meditation Hall.
These buildings were originally monasteries of the Gangoji Temple and were converted to the current style of buildings in 1244. The west side roof of the Main Hall is the original one with more than 1400 years old.
The color of the Main Hall roof is delicate.
With the light of the setting sun, the color of the roof delicately changed and was very impressive.
In front of the Zen Meditation Hall, so many stone statues are there.
These stone statues will make your mind calm and peaceful.
