Horyuji Temple （法隆寺）, Ikaruga Town, Nara Prefecture

Horyuji Temple （法隆寺） is located in Ikaruga town of Nara Prefecture. This place can be easily reached by a bus from the JR Nara Station.
Horyuji Temple was established in the early eight century by Prince Shotoku Taishi, who was one of the first Japanese Royal family member to officially embrace Buddhism. Under Prince Shotoku Buddhism flourished in Japan and he also built many Buddhist monuments and Temples.
If you visit Nara and plan to spend more than a day, make sure you visit this magnificent Temple.

I had visited Foguang temple in China (857 AD), supposedly from the same period. It pales in comparison to Horyuji in terms of size, upkeep and promotion. Still, I truly enjoyed my time there in Foguang temple. I regretted the last time I was in Nara I never visited Horyuji. Definitely on my do visit list the next time I visit Japan.

We were there in Oct 10, 2018. Some buildings under renovation. The place was very crowded with students and visitors at that time and it was raining. This video clips gives me much information I might miss. Thank you.

The Horyuji Temple in Nara, Japan is one of the oldest temples in the world. The architecture is amazing.
