meet up with raphael, kyo-san n joel at 1pm and we set off to 三十三間堂~!By Bicycle!!!!! Omg....soo tired! esp uphill!!!!! >< ride for abt 40mins till we reached...

Joel! He's the guide for the day~





Cannot take photo in 三十三間堂 but the view is beautiful so i took quite a few~

Some info abt 三十三間堂:
The principal images of the temple are the 1001 statues of the Buddhist deity. 1000 statues and one gigantic seated statue (National Treasure) placed at the centre of the standing statues. All are made of Japanese crypress. Among the standing statues, 124 were made in the 12th century when the temple was founded and the remaining 876 were made in the 13th century when the temples were renovated.

While i was looking ard in the temple, they have this explanation of the structure of the building. 3 pictures, one normal building temple, second is during earthquake n the last one is after earthquake. And the 1st n last pics are exactly the same except for the 2nd pic where the srtucture below the building is abit shaky. Apparently, the temple building was built in a special technique where it will protect it....i forgot how they did it but it was quite impressive....



                           




Funny tht Joel was the one who explaning the steps...





After tht, we ride again for abt 15mins to a very crowded street...i forgot the name ><  We had some food here~  the inari sushi is very famous n ofcoz i tried some~ is super delicious~~!!!
