Photo Kofuku-ji Temple was build in the 3rd year of the Wado era, when Fujiwara-no Fuhito moved the Umayasaka-dera Temple, its predecessor, from Asuka to Heijo-kyo Palace. Later it came to life as the tutelary temple of the Fujiwara family. The 51-meter-tall five-storied pagoda is known as the symbol of Nara.
The large precincts are dotted with Chukon-do (Middle Golden Hall), Tokon-do (Eastern Golden Hall), Hokuen-do (Northern Octagonal Hall), Nan'en-do (Southern Octagonal Hall), five-storied pagoda, three-storied pagoda, Oyu-ya (Big Bathhouse), Ohmi-do (Lecture Hall) and Kokuho-kan (National-treasure Exhibition Hall).
