Hasedera Temple is a large center located in the southeast of Nara City. This temple was first built in 686 AD during the time when Buddhism arrived in Japan. At that time, bronze plates with images of towers and brought from mainland Asia were enshrined here. When we arrived, we bought tickets to enter the temple at the entrance. The entrance fee is 500 yen for junior high school students to adults (if you also want to see the Kannon, buy a combined ticket for 1,300 yen). After buying, we walked up the 399 steps and 200 meters long. I would like to warn you that if you have bad knees, we walked and rested for quite a while before reaching the top floor. Along the way, There are places to sit and rest along the way, and there are trees and changing leaves for you to stop and take pictures at intervals. When you walk up to the top floor, you will see a statue of the Goddess of Mercy with 11 faces. This Goddess of Mercy was built in the Muromachi period. When you walk inside, you will see a place for training, as well as a resting area and a library building used by monks. Outside on the terrace, you can see a wide view of the valley below. This view is especially beautiful in spring when the cherry blossoms bloom, and when the leaves change color in autumn. Looking up, you will see a red pagoda covered with changing leaves. It is a very beautiful view.
