Details of the experience
It is a valuable experience where you can experience the charm of Horyuji Temple from the side of a “Buddha statue” among Japan's leading cultural properties. You can more deeply explain the historical value and cultural value of Buddha statues that have no shortage of highlights, such as the Buddha statue, Shaka Sanson (national treasure), Yakushi Nyorai (national treasure), and Baekje Kannon (national treasure) representing the Asuka period, through specialized perspectives that only craftsmen can talk about.
After the tour, you can enjoy lunch made with plenty of locally grown ingredients at “Gallery Cafe IKARUGA Gakusha,” which is just a short walk away.
