Fri, August 2, 2019, by Muza-chan
The main gate of the Tōdai-ji temple in Nara is, with a height of 25.46 meters, the largest temple entrance gate in Japan. It is five bays wide and two bays deep, and when it was originally build during the Nara period it was also featuring three pairs of doors. The gate we can admire today was built at the end of the 12th century, and it is a National Treasure.
