Itinerary
Taima-dera Temple, Sainain
2 hoursAdmission Ticket Not IncludedThis temple was founded in 612 by Imperial Prince Maroko, brother of the famous Prince Shotoku while the villages of the region served as rotating capitals. The temple was then moved to its present location in 681 by Maroko’s grandson and served as the main temple for the now extinct Hosso sect. The main object of worship of the temple is the Yakushi, the healing Buddha but the most popular attraction is the Taima Mandala, a pictorial representation of paradise the Pure Land.当麻寺線
1 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeWe were able to admire the traditional Japanese street Taima-dera before going to the temple of the same name. We then saw how it could remain traditional while modernizing. Let’s stop there longer after visiting the temple and before or after the sumo Kehayaza museum. The street is full of hidden treasures, treats and souvenirs.Sumo-kan Kehaya-za
2 hoursAdmission Ticket Not IncludedSumo, Japanese wrestling, is now recognized worldwide as a part of Japanese culture, but few people really know it. Sumo was born in Nara, in the city of Katsuragi, in the Taima district. Visiting Katsuragi is also an opportunity to learn more about this sport in the Kehayaza Sumo Museum.当麻寺線
