If you ever get a chance to go to Nara, drop by Horyuji, its one stop after Oji station from Osaka to Nara. Take the bus to one of the oldest temples in Japan. This simple but ancient temple is simply sublime. Not a lot of tourists go, so its quite easy to enjoy and soak in the history.

Impressive temple, the oldest wooden building in the world. We had a volunteer free English guide who explained to us in great detail the peculiarities of the place. Our entrance also included the visit to the museum and other buildings. It is much quieter than the temples in Nara park, and it just 30 minutes by local train from Nara (JR lines)

The place is interesting, it's just that there is no so much information in languages different than Japanese

This is, for most people, of the beaten track so it's a lot less crowded than other temples in Nara ( todaji,...) But still be sure to ge early ( before 9 ) to experience it in all pecefulness. Take your time walking around and be sure to see all 3 parts of the complex

Horyuji was gorgeous, incredibly old and beautiful. So much history. Everyone we talked to were so nice. Definitely a must for visiting Japan.
