The head of a Shinkansen train at Odawara Station (Hakone.)
One of the carved giants, the
Nio, at the temple's main gate.
This stylized flower, which appears at many temples and shrines throughout the country, is the emperor's crest.
Todaiji Temple's main hall, Daibutsu-den, is the largest wooden building in the world.
A closer look at the main hall's architecture
Golden statue of Kannon, to the Great Buddha's left.
From the picture you can't really tell this is the largest bronze Buddha in the world, but every finger is about as high as a regular adult human.
Wooden statue of the Guardian King of the South, inside the main hall
Going through the nostril-sized hole
The great Buddha, seen from a different angle
When you aren't carrying any food, the deer will let you do pretty much anything to them.
Steve feeding the deer, before they got a little too excited
