We took an local train from Kyoto station and headed for the city of Nara. After an hour we were there in this vast park full of deer eager to be fed. The center piece of the park is the Todaiji Temple which is home to The Big Buddha. the temple is the largest wooden structure in the world today. The seated Buddha is 15 meters tall and is flanked by 2 Bodhisattvas. This was a great day out and well worth the slow journey to get there, and to get away from the hustle of Kyoto.
