The Toshodaiji Temple was built by monk Ganjin (Jianzhen) in 759.
The Main Hall and the Lecture Hall are original and remain "Tempyou-style", which means the architectural style in the Nara Age. The Drum Tower was rebuilt in 1240 during the Kamakura Age. These buildings are national treasures of Japan.
The founder, Ganjin was born in China and was a high priest. He was asked to come to Japan to propagate Buddhism. At the his seventh attempts of voyage to Japan across the East China Sea, he finally came to Japan and opened this temple. 16 years have passed since his first attempt and he went blind due to tough situations of his voyage's failures.
At the north area of Toshodaiji Temple, the tomb of Ganjin is located. The garden in front of the tomb is fully covered by moss. The view of the garden was very impressive.
