Great location, 10-min walk from the Kintetsu station and easy walk to Nara Park and historic areas for shopping. Large room by Japanese standards (only downside is brick pillows and some carpet stains/dated fittings). Clean and quiet. Extremely friendly staff, very helpful and informative in English. Convenience store located on ground level of same building and several cultural activities on offer. Highly recommend.

No matter you are a Buddhist follower or not, this is a place that worth to visit. Built in Nara period, 710-749 AD, the temple was officially positioned as one of the state-established provincial temples. No need to worry about the deer wandering in the garden, they won't bother unless you want to buy biscuit for them to eat.

It's a nice little Buddhist temple in tranquil, peaceful settings. There's a beautiful 3-story pagoda there. The temple is not far from Joruri-ji temple so you can see them both if you're in the area. We drove there with our friends so I have no idea about the public transportation there

The deer are freely roaming around the park and you can buy a pack of crackers for 150 yen to feed them. They absolutely love them and prepare to immediately be surrounded buy potentially overly friendly deer to get them. They will bow for them as well which is quite cute. There are lots of nice trails around to walk and plenty of little shops and food places. Not too far from the station either

寺院、堂塔、眺望は素晴らしいものがある寺院です。ここは仏塔古寺１８尊霊場の第３番札所で、文殊堂内の文殊菩薩が参拝対象仏、堂塔としては国宝指定を受けている五重塔がやはり一番の見ものでした。

白鳳期のブロンズ像では、薬師寺の薬師如来像と並ぶ逸品で、国宝。それが小さなお堂の中に鎮座していて、まさに目の前で対面することができます。さらに、両膝の部分が黒光りしており、そこを撫でると腰痛平癒の御利益も、と言うことは、少なくともそこを撫でることはできるのです。ちょっと不便な場所ですが、その苦労をおして行く価値が十分にあります。「蟹の恩返し」の話は、ちょっと納得できませんが… 。
9. Nigatsu-do Temple

Reviewed By GVancouver - Vancouver, Canada
Nigatsu-do and Sangatsu-do temples are a bit of an uphill walk from Todai-ji Temple. They are attractive, but modest compared to other temples on the park grounds (and in Japan generally).
They are worth a visit but if you're tired, hot and cranky, your energy might be better spent walking over to the Kasuga Grand Shrine.
