Horyu-ji, a World Heritage Site in Nara, is a timeless beauty.

Horyu-ji Temple is one of Japan's oldest religious and cultural treasures, located in Ikaruga City, Nara Prefecture. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Buddhist temple and is home to the world's oldest wooden building. The beauty of this temple lies not only in its ancient architecture, but also in its deep sense of faith and serenity. As you enter the temple grounds, you will find a unique five-story pagoda, the Kondo (Golden Pavilion) housing an ancient Buddha statue, and traditional temple halls surrounded by large trees and stone walkways. The gentle sound of the wind blowing through the leaves makes you feel as if you have traveled back in time to the Asuka period. The budget for a day trip is around 1,500–2,000 baht, including the temple entrance fee (approximately 1,500 yen), transportation costs, and a local lunch. Travel from JR Nara Station or get off at JR Horyuji Station and take a bus or walk for about 20 minutes. If you are passionate about history, serenity, and timeless beauty, Horyu-ji Temple is a place you should visit at least once in your life. This is not just a trip, but a true experience of the Japanese spirit. #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #TravelJapan
