Last time, we didn't go into Toidaiji temple, we just went up to the gate. This time, I paid to go in, and I was so glad I did. When I lived here when I was younger, I used to be able to climb through this hole which was the same size as Buddah's nostil, and so I needed to go back just to have those memories. The temple is home to the largest Buddah in Japan, and the building it is housed in is the world's largest wooden building. Pretty cool eh? The origional building actually burned down, and they rebuilt it at 2/3 of the origional size. It must have been even more impressive before!
