Gangō-ji 元興寺

The roof tiles were made in Korea over 1,400 years ago and brought to Nara in 718.

Gangō-ji came into being in 718 when an older temple founded in Asuka was moved to Nara; it is part of the UNESCO site ‘Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara’, inscribed in 1998. The Hall of Bliss (極楽堂) and the hall known as the Zenshitsu (禅室) are both National Treasures.
