Kōfuku-ji 興福寺
The five-storey pagoda is under scaffolding until 2034: its first restoration in 120 years.
The temple is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site ‘Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara’, inscribed in 1998. Both the five-storey pagoda and the statue of Ashura, a Buddhist deity kept in the temple museum, the Kokuhōkan, are National Treasures.
