A very beautiful tower, from a distance, it looks like a square shape. When the sun is good, it shines, and it feels like it is made of different colored gems. Not far from Dongdaeji Temple.

The head tower is an earthen tower located in Takahata-cho, Nara City. It is 30 meters long, 10 meters high, and has 7 steps. The head tower was built in the 11th year of Taisho (1922) and is a nationally designated historic site in Japan. According to records, the head tower was built by monks in the Nara period. In Showa 52 (1977), 13 stone Buddhas were exposed, and 14 more were excavated later. Experts restored the northern part of the head tower, while retaining the southern part in the state when it was excavated. The step casting of the head tower and the degree of change are uniform, and the reduction distance of each section is the same, which is very precise.

A very beautiful tower, from a distance, it looks like a square shape. When the sun is good, it shines, and it feels like it is made of different colored gems. Not far from Dongdaeji Temple.
The head tower is 32 meters long on one side, with seven layers of stone earth altars, 10 meters high, shaped like ancient pyramids in Egypt and Latin America, located in a residential area about 1 km south of the south gate of Nara Dongdaeji Temple. It is known as the "Japanese pyramid".
The head tower is made of earth, ten meters high, and has seven floors in total. Each tower is very sophisticated, looks very grand and spectacular, very historic, and highly recommended.
Excellent location, beautiful environment, worth visiting
The head tower is a small attraction, very special, about ten meters, has a history of hundreds of years, looks very stylish,
