What other travelers are saying about Nigatsu-do Hall
Went here to see sunset.
A local man told us his best sunset photo was at 7:25pm and at 8PM the bell nearby will be rung (the bell is right before we go up the stairs where many vending machines are)
Also met a kind photographer, he showed us all his great shots of the sunset and some of a festival with fire!
Super cool pic! If he ever approaches you (especially if u bring a camera, he probably approached us because I was taking pics using a camera) please compliment him!
I thought the pictures are awesome but I'm not a very expressive person (and I'm shy, so I didn't talk a lot, plus language barrier, I did use google translator since he seems to want have a conversation but I run out of topic and it was already dark so we needed to go)
Great place to see sunset & view of Nara, I visited around 7PM during the summer and it’s free to enter. A must see especially on a clear day. Though, it’s a bit far from Todai-ji & the way there is kinda eerie near sunset
We recently stopped in Japan on one of our trips to Korea to visit my wife’s family. From Tokyo, we booked a tour to Osaka, Nara and Kyoto on the bullet train. One of the places we visited on the tour was the Todaiji Temple to see the giant Buddha. It was magnificent. Beautiful building . Well worth the visit to learn about the long history of the temple.
It's free of charge.
It's worth visiting when you are visiting the Nara Park. It's not that busy here. It has a nice atmosphere with deers roaming around in the wild.
Fabulous temple surrounded by nature, with a great view over the city of Nara. There are many different buildings with paintings and sculptures. The path to the temple is a bit steep, but it’s worth the climb!
