Todaiji Temple is a grand Buddhist temple complex in Nara.
Located in Nara Park, its Great Buddha Hall is the largest wooden building in the world.
Within this vast structure is the giant buddha, or in Japanese "Daibutsu."
The great buddha is nearly 15 meters (49 feet) high and weighs some 500 tons.
The city of Nara is compact and most of the main sites in the city limits can be easily visited in one day on a bike.
