Very pure and impressively massive wooden temple , the largest wooden building in the world , with a serene and grand bronze statue of Buddha inside, one of the largest Buddha figures on earth. I first visited Nara and Todaiji almost 40 years ago. Nara is a quiet city. The sightseeing of Todaiji and the Nara park, with its adorable and sometimes a bit naughty deers, brings you a genuine moment of joy and tranquility.

It was quite a long walk from Nara station to reach the temple, but there are so many sightseeing spots in between, so you don't really feel the long walk. The temple gives off very tranquil feeling.

#3 of Best Things to Do in Naha
UNESCO World Heritage - Cultural Sites
fishingrabbit
Shuri Castle, located in Okinawa, Japan, was a historically significant and culturally rich site. The castle served as the Ryukyu Kingdom's royal residence for centuries and featured a unique blend of Japanese and Chinese architectural styles. Unfortunately, in October 2019, a devastating fire destroyed the main hall and several other buildings, resulting in a loss of cultural heritage. The restoration efforts have been ongoing, aiming to preserve and rebuild this iconic landmark. Shuri Castle has always been a symbol of Okinawa's history and heritage, and its historical and cultural significance is undeniable.

If you are planning to visit a castle, this one is much of a better choice than Hiroshima or Osaka castle. For a simple reason; this one is real, the others are fake. From Himeji station it's a 15-20 minute walk, passing by different shops with souvenirs and other stuff. The park of the castle itself is not impressive but the castle, completely manufactured out of wood, is something special and very well preserved. I'm sure tons of rework and maintenance is being carried out to keep it in it's original shape but it remains cool to walk through. There is a designated walking route through the castle which brings you all the way to the top floor with some great views over Himeji. After your visit, it's totally worth visiting the neighboring garden Koko-en. I would say, for both the castle and graden, a 2,5 to 3 hours is enough traveling time excluded.

The Equality Academy Museum Fengxiang Hall is a walk away. The World Cultural Heritage Equality Academy is worth seeing, and photography is not allowed inside. The Equality Academy is on the ten yuan coin, and the Phoenix on the 10,000 yen is the Phoenix of the Equality Academy. Worth a look ~

I came to Hiroshima specially and wanted to see the origin of the atomic bomb. Because of the Hiroshima Summit, the tram drove from the railway station to the Memorial Park. The road was closed halfway. I got off and walked underground to the neighborhood. The memorial park was completely closed. I only regretted leaving.

We were pretty shocked that this shrine is small. You get a view of the surroundings if you pay the entrance fee of 500yen to enter. The gardens are very well maintaned and really quite pretty!Worth a visit only if you have alot of spare time.
