Kofuku-ji (Higashi Kondo)

The East Golden Hall of Kofuku-ji, an ancient Nara temple founded as the Fujiwara clan temple, enshrines the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. Rebuilt in the tenth century, this hall has survived countless fires and remains a testament to enduring faith. Pilgrims seeking wisdom and academic success have reverently visited for centuries. Its collection of wooden Buddhist statues, designated as national treasures, radiates spiritual splendor.
