Tour Description
This half-day tour covers the greatest official temple constructed at the early time of introduction of Buddhism. Transmission of Buddhism played a key role not only in introducing religious faith but in bringing new technology, culture, and moral codes, contributing Japan to open up a new epoch. With the positive adoption of Buddhism by the founder of the temple, it is no exaggeration to say that Japan started here at Horyuji Temple.
