Home Of The Fujiwara Clan: Tanzan Jinja in Nara-ken!
Situated deep in the mountains is of one Japan's and Nara's oldest shrines. Founded in the eight century and built by the monk Jo'e (643 -- 666). Jo'e was the oldest son of Fujiwara no Kamatari (614 -- 669), founder of the Fujiwara clan and the seat of the Fujiwara clan. It is a little difficult to reach but when you do there is fantastic scenery to enjoy. Some of its pavilions are very old and bear the mark of old age.
There are two entrances; one a steep stairway of 140 steps to a Shinto shrine, famous for its splendid view during the momiji season. The small balcony of this shrine is lined with lanterns and maple trees all around. The other entrance is less spectacular as far as steps are concerned, but the two pavilions that are at its entrance are well worth the view.
In between these two buildings is a small waterfall that adds to the serenity of the place. Next to these pavilions is a small open area flanked by two more pavilions, one of which has a memorial statue and the other is a small museum with different portraits. At the end of this small open area you will find some steps leading up to another pavilion and what impressed me the most was the view of the majestic 13 story pagoda in bright red vermillion, flanked on all sides by maple trees.
After climbing the steps and turning to the right there are more steps leading up to the main Shinto shrine. This is where the famous balcony with the lanterns is. Inside the hall is a small museum, a fairly large tatami room with artefacts from a bygone era. It's also a comfy place to take a rest and take in the quietness of the mountain and listen to the birds and the sounds of the forest.
On the day I was there a craftsman was replacing the outer mats of the main Hondo. I was lucky to be able to take a photo of these brand new mats. By the entrance of this shrine is a small gift shop for lucky charms.

Yakushiji temple in Nara city - Taste of 8th Century - Japan Trip
Yakushiji temple is located a bit off in the distance from Todaiji temple, which is the most popular spot in Nara. So you'll see much less tourists here.
The history of the temple is quite old, but you can enjoy the real brilliance of Buddhist architectures in the 8th century because most of the buildings were reconstructed in the late 20th century in accordance with their original buildings.
Besides, some Buddhist statues of this temple are said to be masterpieces of Buddhist statues of the 7th to 8th century. They are definitely must-sees.
Why don't you pick this temple as one of the destinations of your trip in Japan?
Thank you.

Naramachi, Nara Japan
Naramachi is Old Town Nara, the Ancient Capital of Japan. The neighborhood dates back to the 700s and is quite charming with its quaint little streets, old shops, and the beautiful and powerfully spiritual Gangoji Buddhist Temple. Gangoji actually was founded as Asuka Temple in the 500s, during the time when Buddhism was first introduced to Japan. This temple was in fact the very first learning center of Buddhism in Japan. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a National Treasure of Japan. Not only that, but it was also a very peaceful and inspiring place to spend an afternoon. A Beautiful and Sacred Place.
