樽	樽谷英樹 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 恥ずかしながら法隆寺には2度来たことあるのに【中宮寺】の存在は知りませんでした? 見どころが少く【国宝の仏像】があるだけなので仏像に興味がない人にはオススメ出来ません。【スフィンクス??】【モナリザ??】そして中宮寺の【菩薩半跏像??】を含め【世界の三つの微笑像】と言われているみたいです。この時代には珍しく1本造りでなく、部分によって、木材を変えたりして造る寄木造りで繊細な表現が施されていて本当に凄いと思いました。今見ても凄いと思うものを約1300年前の人々が作っていた事と同じ美意識を持っていた事に驚きました。この日は平日で雨☔の為か僕と従業員の方の二人しか居なく、雨の音を聞きながら国宝をゆっくり眺める事が出来、贅沢な時間を過ごす事が出来ました? I'm ashamed to say that I've been to Horyu-ji twice, but I didn't know the existence of [Chuguji] ? It is not recommended for people who are not interested in Buddha statues because there are few highlights and there are only [National Treasure Buddha statues]. [Sphinx ??] [Mona Lisa ??] And it seems that it is said to be [three smiling statues of the world] including [Bodhisattva half-bodhisattva statue ??] of Chuguji Temple. It is not rare in this era, but it is made of parquet, which is made by changing the wood depending on the part, and it is really delicately expressed. I thought it was amazing. I was surprised that they had the same aesthetic sense that people made about 1300 years ago, which I think is amazing even now. It was a weekday and it was raining ☔, so there were only two people, myself and an employee, and I was able to slowly look at the national treasure while listening to the sound of the rain, and I was able to spend a luxurious time ?

M	Moya on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ East to Horyu-ji, take a few minutes to visit this place which used to be a nonnary. The main building seems to be floating on water.
K	Keiko Kant on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I couldn’t resist to see Bosatsu Hankazou. Bosatsu Hankazou is beautifully carved and has a slender body. Noted on my wonder-tips site.
M	Marta Philippe on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful enclosed Buddhist nunnery, the main temple is contemporary but designed in an old style. There are still some old wooden buildings.
S	Silver Navigation on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful and unusual statue of Buddha "of the Future", with the famous "archaeic" smile. It touches you.
R	Ramón Springer on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We got a tip to visit Horyu-ji and Chugu-ji from a friendly local in Kanazawa. When we went to Kyoto first thing was to visit the shrines! They are about 45min away from Kyoto but a must see attraction for anyone interested in history and culture! The staff there is very friendly helping non-Japanese travelers to understand the significance of the place. Miroku Bosatsu is an amazing statue in the Chugu temple that makes you reflect on the past and present of the world.
P	Patrik Pindeš on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you go to visit Horyu-Ji temple, this temple is listed as the last stop in the tour guide brochure, that you get with the ticket. It's nice but not as impressive as it's neighbor.
