About Tadaiji Temple. In 784, Emperor Kammu moved the capital from Heijo-kyo (Nara) to Nagaoka and then Heian-kyo (Kyoto) to escape the meddlesome influence of the powerful Nara temples on affairs of state. (Picture of the enterance before entering the Daibutsu Hall)
(Picture taken is the enterance gate, side, front and enterance of the temple hall)

Before entering the temple, it is a form of respect and also a tradition that you wash both your hands. First the left hand then right. Follow by which you need to rinse your mouth, spill out the water as so to proof that you are clean to enter.

The Daibutsu all contains a 14.84 metrre bronze statue of Rushana Butsu, later known as Dainichi (or the "Cosmic Buddha") in Japan's esoteric Buddhism.

My tour guide say there is two way to make your dream come true one is to go through that hole (it is not big ok!) another is to write it down on this wooden board and hang it! If you think coming out of the hole is easy? NO it is NOT! Try it yourself and you will know!
