I would say visiting this museum is equal to or more in significance than seeing Todaiji - the premier attraction in Nara. Todaji's got size and fame, but you're gonna see a wide variety of Buddhist treasures here. Magnificent statues, sculptures, reliefs, and whatnot pepper both buildings where you can spend quite a few hours viewing the exhibits and reading the excellent English descriptions most of them have. One special exhibition that I thought was fun was Buddhist art that involved images of animals. There were lots of informational signs here too in English with animal cartoon characters that I thought would be funny for the kids. I liked coming here a lot and am glad I didn't skip it. You shouldn't either.

Two hours by car from Osaka into pretty mountainous scenery is this tomb consisting of 30 huge stones reminiscent of megalithic sites in Europe. Located within a park (free parking but 300 yen to visit tomb) the tomb is built on a small man made hill outside of which is a moat. More exciting was to be able to walk down the passage and into the tall tomb itself. Pleasant restaurant and cafes nearby.
