In our August trip to the Kansai region, we visited Nara for the second time. This was one of the places we went on our first trip to Japan. Nara was the ancient capital before Kyoto. It was still blazing hot here, but not quite as bad as Kyoto. I don't think anything can be as bad as Kyoto. Last time all I got to see in Nara was the Big Budda and some deer because we were short on time. This time we went to Kofukuji which has a five tiered pagoda, one of the tallest in Japan. The sheer size of this monument is was makes it so impressive. However, this really can't be seen in the photos. This thing is freaking huge! I recommend that you go see it yourself to get the full effect. However, if this isn't possible, just take my word for it. :-)
