Nigatsu-do Hall in Todaiji Temple

Underrated, beautiful mid-17th century architecture

Designated as a National Treasure, Nigatsu-do Hall (also known as Hall of the Second Month) is located within the famous Todai-ji temple in Nara. Although many visitors know of the Great Buddha Hall in Todai-ji, only a fraction would explore the sacred ground further to discover other precious monuments. Recommended by a kind tourist representative at the Nara Information Tourist Office, I decided to visit Nigatsu-do Hall and was awed by this beautiful mid-17th century architecture and its quaint view of Nara city. Don't miss it the next time that you visit! And another great thing? It's free admission.

Because there’re so much more. Be it places, people or the most trivial of matters, there are much more if only one cares to explore further. I would love to hear your story and share some good ones with you. Come travel with me. Be inspired.
