A beautiful and historic temple with incredible ancient architecture, it’s amazing to see structures this old still standing. The grounds are peaceful and well-preserved. That said, the entrance fee is quite expensive compared to other temples, which might be a drawback for some. Still, it’s a special place worth seeing if you’re interested in history.

Horyu-ji Temple is one of the most important Buddhist sites in Japan and home to some of the oldest wooden buildings in the world. The history, architecture, and peaceful atmosphere make it a must-visit in Nara.

I visited Horyuji Temple in the middle of a long weekend. Although I expected it to be crowded, the grounds are spacious and peaceful, allowing me to explore comfortably. Seeing the world’s oldest wooden buildings up close was truly inspiring. There’s a depth and serenity that photos cannot convey—the architecture, the atmosphere, the sound of the wind through the corridors, and even the scent of the wood all create a very special experience. The exhibits were also impressive, with beautifully detailed statues and historical artifacts. The staff were kind and helpful, making it easy to navigate even for first-time visitors. Even during the holiday period, it didn’t feel overwhelmingly busy, making it a pleasant site for families as well. It’s absolutely a must-visit when in Nara. One important note: the entrance fee is cash-only, so be sure to bring cash with you.

It was my university field trip. It was not enjoyable but also packed with historical knowledge experience. The pagoda and temples were built more than 1400 years ago. This history of this place dates back to when before Nara was the capital of Japan in the 6th century. Once you step foot into this historical place, you'd feel as if you've been transported into a different era in time. I wholeheartedly advise everyone to take your time and slowly pace through this place so that you can immerse, feel, and absorb the atmosphere.

Please take half day to this gorgeous temple! We been to Nara twice and visited this temple in our second trip to Nara, we were upset why we didn’t visit here earlier. Once stepping into the gate, we were speechless of how beautiful this temple is! Please don’t miss this place in your trip!

GREAT anciant Buddhist temple in Japan!! Many Buddhist buildings, included oldest Buddhist building in Japan are very impressive. Gilt bronze Buddhist statue of "Sakyamuni Triad" and wooden statue of "Kudara Kannon" are very beautiful!

This temple shows the grand scale that temples were at the time. The current cost to get in is 2000 yen per person for the 3 areas

I have great time here. I would recommend everyone to visit here. Look forward to see you again.

I was so excited even though it was raining! Pretty satisfied with driving around and visiting World Heritage Sites within two hours. Tour staff guided me so I luckily didn't get lost! Thank you so much for the great experience!!

Wonderful service, my family and I had a great time there. Strongly recommend.👍👏

(Translated by Google) I had the valuable experience of driving a buggy in a snowstorm, and it was a lot of fun, thank you very much. Also, the two temple spots other than Horyuji are related to Prince Shotoku, but are not well known, so the various historical stories were interesting. Kyoto's gorgeous temples and famous places are great, but the narrow streets around Horyuji Temple were also very nice. Thank you very much for accompanying me in such weather. (Original) 吹雪の中バギーを運転するという貴重な体験ができましたし、めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです、ありがとうございました。 また、お寺のスポットも、法隆寺以外の2つも聖徳太子にまつわるものなのにあまり知られていないということで、いろんな歴史の話も興味深かったです。京都のきらびやかなお寺や有名どころもいいですが、法隆寺の周辺の細道も風情があってとてもよかったです。あの天候の中で帯同してくださり、本当にありがとうございました。

(Translated by Google) Since it was a weekday, I was able to book a buggy ride on the same day! The course took about 2 hours from the reception to the end, and we were able to visit various nearby spots! Next time I would like to rent a different vehicle and go around. (Original) 平日だったので当日予約でバギーに乗る事が出来ました! 受け付けから終わりまで2時間位のコースで色々と近くのスポットを周れました！ 今度は違う乗り物をレンタルして周りたいです。

(Translated by Google) I came here because I was told that I could drive the same tuk-tuks that I had ridden in Thailand and India. As for driving, the curves are a little scary, but if you can drive a motorcycle, I think you'll get used to it quickly. You can easily reach speeds of around 60 km/h, so you can drive along with the flow of traffic. On this day, I changed my plans to only do it in the morning, and in the afternoon I rented an electric bicycle and went up to Mt. Shigi. The staff at the store were kind and even gave us recommendations on where to go for lunch. I would like to use it again when I go to Nara. (Original) タイやインドで乗ったトゥクトゥクを運転できるということで伺いました。 運転は、カーブがちょっと怖いですが、オートバイが運転できる人なら、すぐに慣れると思います。 スピードも60km/h位は無理なく出せますので、交通の流れに乗って運転することができます。 この日は午前中だけの予定を変更して、午後からは電動自転車を借りて、信貴山まで行って来ました。 お店の方が親切で、お昼ご飯のスポットなども教えて頂きました。 また奈良に遊びに行く際には、利用させて頂きたいです。

(Translated by Google) So fun! So exciting! The owner is friendly and the service is attentive! You must come! 😍😍 (Original) 好好玩！好過癮！老闆態度親切！服務細心！一定要來！😍😍

Cherry Blossom season is quiet compared to other super crowded sites. It’s a must visit if you love ancient architectures & history. It felt like travel back in time of 1000 years while standing there in the rain & enjoy the sight of the pagodas. Very zen & relaxing when there are less people around!

Yakushiji Temple (薬師寺), located in Nara, Japan, is one of the most significant and ancient Buddhist temples in the country. Originally constructed in 680 CE during the Asuka period by Emperor Tenmu, the temple was built to pray for the recovery of his wife, Empress Jitō. Dedicated to Yakushi Nyorai, the Buddha of Medicine and Healing, the temple symbolizes hope and spiritual healing. Yakushiji is renowned for its symmetrical layout and stunning architecture, epitomizing the classical style of early Japanese Buddhism. The temple complex includes several iconic structures, most notably the East Pagoda (東塔, Tōtō), a three-story pagoda dating back to the 8th century. This is the only original structure that survived multiple fires and is celebrated for its elegant design and intricate details. The West Pagoda (西塔, Saitō) and the Kondō (金堂, Main Hall) have been meticulously reconstructed to preserve their historical and spiritual significance. Inside the Kondō, visitors can find an extraordinary bronze triad statue of Yakushi Nyorai flanked by two Bodhisattvas, exemplifying artistic mastery from the Hakuho period. These statues are considered national treasures and reflect the deep devotion to Buddhist teachings. In addition to its architectural and artistic treasures, Yakushiji Temple serves as an active center for Buddhist worship and meditation. The temple’s tranquil atmosphere and rich history make it a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-visit destination for those seeking to explore Japan’s cultural and spiritual heritage.

This is a peaceful temple belonging to the Yogācāra school of Buddhism. It features a beautiful pagoda and murals depicting scenes from the Great Tang Dynasty’s journeys to the Western Regions. It’s a great place for those interested in Buddhist teachings and history. Legend has it that relics of Xuanzang are enshrined here.

Marvelous, an over 13-hundred years old stupa and other rebuilt buildings show us ancient views.

July 5th 2025 I attended a group tour organised by Nara International Citizen centre, along with students from NAIST and Nara University. We went to three places, Yakushi-Ji is our first stop. We were just in time to see the buddhist monks performing their prayers (as you can see from the video). This place temple specifically feels oddly calming, reminding me of Todai-ji. As you walk around, enjoying the lotus flowers and ancient architectures. Hopefully, you'll feel as peaceful and relaxed as I did!

Great ancient Buddhist temple in Japan. Two Three-storied pagodas are beautiful!! Gilt bronze Buddhist statue of "Bhaisajyaguru Triad" is very impressive.

Seem most temple in Japan is nice ..This temple is too... The left side pagoda has these bronze relief scenes inside of Buddha that are incredible (no photos allowed). It’s a rather large complex with much to view, but seems like U could cover it in 1/2hours...

Great Buddhist nunnery in Japan. Wooden Buddhist statue of Maitreya in "pensive pose" is VERY IMPRESSIVE!!

If you go to visit Horyu-Ji temple, this temple is listed as the last stop in the tour guide brochure, that you get with the ticket. It's nice but not as impressive as it's neighbor.

It contains the most beautiful Avalokitesvara

We got a tip to visit Horyu-ji and Chugu-ji from a friendly local in Kanazawa. When we went to Kyoto first thing was to visit the shrines! They are about 45min away from Kyoto but a must see attraction for anyone interested in history and culture! The staff there is very friendly helping non-Japanese travelers to understand the significance of the place. Miroku Bosatsu is an amazing statue in the Chugu temple that makes you reflect on the past and present of the world.

A beautiful and unusual statue of Buddha "of the Future", with the famous "archaeic" smile. It touches you.

A beautiful enclosed Buddhist nunnery, the main temple is contemporary but designed in an old style. There are still some old wooden buildings.

East to Horyu-ji, take a few minutes to visit this place which used to be a nonnary. The main building seems to be floating on water.

Historical temple in Nara, going inside to see the 9 Buddha Statues is definitely worth it. Inside the building there are 9 Buddha statues.

quiet and beautiful, worth a visit and a goshuin stamp too!

(Translated by Google) Founded in the Asuka period, this temple enjoyed considerable prosperity during the Heian period, but gradually fell into decline and was rebuilt during the Edo period. The principal image is a seated statue of Yakushi Nyorai, an Important Cultural Property created during the Asuka period. Originally housed in the Kondo Hall alongside the standing statue of Kokuzo Bosatsu, also an Important Cultural Property, they are now housed alongside other statues in the lecture hall. Both feature slender faces similar to those found at Horyuji Temple, and the beautiful coloring remains on their halos. Yakushi Nyorai sits seated in a robe. Kokuzo Bosatsu holds a water jar and resembles a Kannon, though the temple believes it to be Kokuzo Bosatsu. In the center of the lecture hall stands a standing statue of Eleven-Headed Kannon, approximately 3 meters tall, which is said to be the principal image of the hall. Among the many other Important Cultural Property relics from the Heian period, including Maitreya Bodhisattva and Jizo Bodhisattva, is a standing statue of Bishamonten riding on a rice bale. As the name suggests, this is Bishamonten sitting on a rice bale. I think it's quite rare. There was also a standing statue of Myoken Bodhisattva, a secret Buddha enshrined in Myoken-do Hall. It's a compact temple, but I was very satisfied. (Original) 飛鳥時代創建のお寺で、平安時代に寺勢をほこっていましたが、次第に廃れ江戸時代に再興されたようです。ご本尊は薬師如来坐像で飛鳥時代作の重文です。同じく重文の虚空蔵菩薩立像と合わせ元は金堂におられましたが、今は他の仏像てあわせ講堂に保存されています。どちらも法隆寺にあるようなお顔の細長い仏様で、光背にきれいな彩色が残っています。薬師如来は裳懸座です。虚空蔵菩薩は水瓶を持っておられ観音様のようですが、お寺には虚空蔵菩薩と伝わっているそうです。 講堂の中央には3mぐらいの十一面観音立像がいらっしゃり、こちらが講堂のご本尊だそうです。他にも弥勒菩薩、地蔵菩薩など平安時代の重文が盛りだくさんですが、その中で米俵乗毘沙門天立像という仏像がいらっしゃいました。その名の通り米俵に乗っている毘沙門天です。かなり珍しいと思います。 また、妙見堂に祀られている秘仏の妙見菩薩立像のお前立ちもいらっしゃいました。 コンパクトなお寺ですが大満足です。

Just fantastic food, great price, really nice portion sizes (you can get small or large selections, all made with care). And of course, the famous Tatsuta-age, so delicious. The surroundings were beautiful, and the price very reasonable.

A Japanese-style cafe renovated from the long-house gate of the mansion where Baron Kitabatake Harufusa, a pro-imperial, anti-foreign activist and judicial official during the Meiji Restoration, lived in seclusion in his later years. Lunch was enjoyed while looking out at the former Baron Kitabatake residence and garden from the large windows. This time, we treated ourselves to a lunch at Nukonzono, which requires a reservation the day before. The main dish was Yamato pork and vegetables steamed on a ceramic plate. Steam rose when we removed the lid. We were more full than we expected. It was nice to be able to eat a little at a time from the small plates. The Belblanc is somen noodles made with whole wheat flour. The other side dishes were also delicious. ▪️Fukokuzono Lunch, 3,000 yen (excluding tax) ・Yamato pork and vegetables steamed on a ceramic plate ・Namafu Dengaku ・2 small side dishes ・Rice from Nara Prefecture ・Belle Blanc ・Scented food ・Set drink, raw chocolate There is a parking lot🅿️ for 9 cars.

(Translated by Google) I made a reservation and visited this restaurant after seeing Hayashi Kento featured in the Nara Mysterious Travel Guide. I highly recommend this restaurant for lunch when visiting Horyuji Temple. I had the Tatsuta-age lunch, which was delicious, the portion was just right, and the staff were very friendly. There was quite a queue, so I recommend making a reservation.

(Translated by Google) This magnificent, imposing gate comes into view as you head east from the Great South Gate of Horyuji Temple. It was my first time passing through it. My friend and I were ushered into "Hanare." There were large windows offering beautiful views of the garden and buildings. There were two tables, and both tables got a little awkward when people started chatting. 💦 We enjoyed the "Mahoroba Lunch" in a wonderful atmosphere. Miwa Somen's nyumen noodles were exceptionally delicious 😋When in Nara, Miwa Somen is a must-try! The small side dishes were also light and delicious, and we finished them in no time. Thank you for the meal. Note: If paying separately, cash only is accepted; large bills are not accepted!

(Translated by Google) This cafe has a spacious parking lot and an atmosphere of a renovated mansion. ・Mahoroba Lunch 1,500 yen A healthy lunch using local Nara ingredients. It may not be enough for men, but it's just right for women. The whole wheat somen noodles have a slightly chewy texture that I've never tried before. I was able to get in before 12 o'clock on a weekday without a wait. The service was quick and smooth. The sweets and fried chicken looked delicious, so I'd like to come again.

Had their lunch set on the day. It cost ¥2000 but everything was only standard. Kakinoha-zushi was good and recommended. Have expected more since it was recommended on many travelling sites as a 150-year-old restaurant.

The set lunch menu with Nara style sushi was a great introduction to the area before sightseeing a Horyu-ji. It included 5 pieces of nigiri sushi wrapped in persimmon leaf - each with a different type of fish. (I forget what the fifth one was...forgot to take a photo of it sorry!).

This was something new. An interesting experience.

Lovely shop the food tastes great and the shaved ice is very good, staff are friendly, also there is toilets for men and women, parking next to the shop or down the street a little

The probability of getting salmon was 91.66%. I love persimmon leaf sushi, but I get tired of it no matter how much I try. The probability of getting mackerel was 8.33%... Did I win? Or were we both completely out of luck? It's a mystery. I wanted to ask a question, but strangely enough, I couldn't make eye contact with the staff, so I gave up.

(Translated by Google) After visiting Horyuji Temple, I was looking for somewhere to have lunch, so I consulted Google and was recommended this place. I had persimmon leaf sushi in Yoshino last year, and thought it would be a good place for lunch, so I stopped in. It was lunchtime, so the restaurant was crowded. However, there was almost no wait, and the food came out quickly. I had the "lunch" set, which consisted of persimmon leaf sushi, Miwa somen noodles and kudzu mochi, and what I thought was deep-fried mackerel. I also added mitarashi dango dumplings. The seating area isn't particularly large, but I was able to eat in a relaxed atmosphere. It was very delicious. Used on Saturday, November 15, 2025 (Original) 法隆寺を参拝した後、どこかお昼ご飯と思い、googleに相談したら、こちらを勧められました。 柿の葉寿司は、昨年吉野でも食べたことがあるのですが、お昼ご飯にはちょうどいいと思い、寄らせていただきました。 お昼時という事も有り、店内は混雑していました。けど、ほとんど待ち時間無し。料理もすぐに出て来ました。 柿の葉寿司と三輪そうめん葛餅に、揚げ物は鯖なのか？の「お昼ご飯」セット。それにみたらし団子をつけました。 それほど大きな客席ではありませんが、落ち着いて食べることが出来ました。とても美味しかったです。 令和7年11月15日(土)　利用

Food was decent but not great, which would have been a 3-star scenario, however, smoking was allowed so it was an unpleasant atmosphere once someone who felt the need to further diminish the taste of their lunch by smoking while eating lit up.

(Translated by Google) While searching for a place to have lunch in front of Horyuji Station, I spotted this restaurant, with what appeared to be local customers coming and going, and decided to stop in. It was before lunchtime, and there were about three other people waiting besides me, so there was a stool for them in the parking space next to the restaurant. I was able to get in after about 10 minutes, and the restaurant was full of locals, indicating its popularity. The age range was diverse, from young groups to older people, and even people in uniforms who appeared to be on their way to work. I had heard from word of mouth that the minced meat cutlet set meal was popular, so I decided to order it. Unlike the usual oval-shaped cutlet, this minced meat cutlet was shaped like a dumpling, about 4 cm in diameter. When I put it in my mouth, it was full of juice and soft, a type I had never eaten before that was delicious. There were also customers ordering takeout while eating in, so it seems to be a restaurant loved by locals. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 法隆寺駅前でランチをとお店を探していたところ、地元の方らしきお客さんが出入りしているこちらを見つけて入りました。 お昼前で自分のほか3人ほど待っている人がいて、お店の横の駐車スペース？にそのためのスツールが置いてあります。 10分ほどで入れましたが店内は地元の方で満席で人気のほどが伺えます。若いグループから年配の方、お仕事の途中と思われるユニフォームを着た方まで年齢層はさまざまです。 クチコミでミンチカツ定食が人気とのことで注文してみました。 よく見かける小判形のものではなく、こちらのメンチカツは直径4センチほどの団子状です。 口に入れてみると中は肉汁いっぱいで柔らかく、今までに食べたことの無いタイプで美味でした。 イートインしながらテイクアウトの注文をしているお客さんもおり、地元の方に愛されているお店のようです。ごちそうさまでした。

(Translated by Google) Tabelog said the parking lot was numbered 2 to 10, but there was a warehouse in the back and I was able to park one car in front and two cars on the side (I was waiting and they pulled me over). I ordered hamburger, shrimp pilaf, and Italian spaghetti. By the way, most of the customers ordered the minced cutlet set meal, so I guess it's a specialty, but I didn't order it. Overall, the saltiness is modest and the seasoning is not strong. The shrimp pilaf is covered in white sauce, so it doesn't get cold and has a gentle flavor, and the fried shrimp is a good volume. Italian spaghetti looks like it's seasoned and easy, but it has a taste that you can't make at home. It's more like spaghetti than pasta, and when you sprinkle Tabasco on the noodles, it's Showa-era. The hamburger steak looked chunky, but it was more fluffy than I expected, and the onion flavor went well with the not-too-bitter demi-sauce. The spaghetti at the bottom was plentiful and filling. Thank you for the meal The parking lot is full, and it's a busy store with people waiting outside even during the day on weekdays. It was a shop that I thought I would come to often if it was nearby. (Original) 駐車場が食べログだと２～１０番って書いてたんですが、奥に倉庫があってその前１台と横に２台止める事が出来ました（待ってたら抜かれてしまった） ハンバーグ・エビピラフ・イタリアンスパゲティをお願いしました ちなみにお客さんの大多数がミンチカツ定食を注文してましたので名物なんでしょうが注文せずです 全体的に塩味は控えめで、しっかりした味付けじゃないです。エビピラフはホワイトソースが掛かってるので冷めずに優しい味になってエビフライが良いボリューム。イタリアンスパゲティは見た通りの味付けで簡単そうで家では作れない味わい。パスタというよりスパゲティと言った方がしっくりくる麺にタバスコを振ると昭和。ハンバーグは見た目みっちりした感じですが、思ってる以上にふんわりしててタマネギの風味と苦さのあまり無いデミソースが良く合ってました。下のスパゲティがたっぷりでボリュームも良くお腹いっぱいになった ごちそうさまでした 駐車場も満車状態で平日の昼間でも外に待ちが出るぐらいの繁盛店。 近くだとちょくちょくやって来ると思うお店でした

(Translated by Google) I had the "Stamina Set Meal (1,180 yen)" for lunch after sightseeing at Horyuji Temple on a public holiday. It seems to be a popular restaurant, and it was full by around 1pm, so I had to share a table. The food was filling, but as you can see from the soup cup, it felt like an old-fashioned Western restaurant. (Original) 祝日の法隆寺観光の後のランチで「スタミナ定食（1180円）」をいただきました。人気店のようで13時頃で満席だったので相席になりました。料理はボリュームはありましたが、スープのカップでもわかるように、昔の洋食店という感想です。

(Translated by Google) We went there at exactly 11:00, but it was already full. We were able to enter the restaurant about 15 minutes later. The inside is quite old compared to the exterior. My partner, who doesn't like minced cutlet that much, tried it here and said it was delicious. I ordered sirloin steak. It was delicious, but I think it was worth the price. (Original) 11時ちょうどに行きましたがすでに満席。15分後くらいにお店に入れました。 外観に比べると中は結構年季入ってます。 ミンチカツそんなに好きじゃないパートナーが食べたところここのは美味しいとのこと。 自分はサーロインステーキを注文。美味しかったですが値段相応かなと思います。

This location of Washoku Sato restaurant is extremely convenient for visitors to Hōryūji temple, being only a 7-minute walk away. We dined here following our visit to Hōryūji temple. Similar to other traditional Japanese "Washoku" restaurants, it offers authentic homemade-style Japanese meals at a reasonable price. The cuisine is consistently delicious and visually appealing, presenting a beautifully crafted meal that, while not comparable to "kaiseki," provides excellent value for the price, particularly during lunch hours.

Its very nice place for family especially the private rooms. The food is delightful but the stake has alot of fat. Other things are amazing.

.. good place

(Translated by Google) The desserts were even better quality than I expected! They were so delicious!! ✨ My whole family was impressed, lol. The matcha gateau au chocolat was especially delicious. The presentation was beautiful, and it was fun taking photos! 🫶 However... I've always found the dining area, and I think it's a female employee, to be unfriendly. 💦 She's not just with customers, but especially recently, I saw a part-time worker, about high school age, ask a question about something she didn't understand, and she seemed annoyed and treated her coldly, which made me feel uncomfortable. I currently work part-time at a restaurant, and sometimes older employees make sarcastic remarks like this for no reason, so I empathize with her and feel sad. We're looking forward to our meal here, so it's disappointing to see such behavior. My family and I have always loved this restaurant, so I hope they improve. 🙏 (Original) 思ってたよりすごいデザートクオリティ高い！めっちゃ美味しいです！！✨家族一同感動しておりました笑。とくに抹茶のガトーショコラが本当に美味しい。盛り付けも綺麗で写真撮るの楽しかったです🫶 ただ……ホールの、おそらく社員の女性の方だと思うんですけど愛想が悪いのがいつも気になります💦お客さんに対してもですが、とくに最近、高校生くらいのバイトの子がわからないことがあったのでしょうね、その社員さんに質問したのに対してイライラしていたのか冷たくあしらっている場面を見かけ、不快に思いました。私もいま飲食店でバイトしていますが、時々こんなふうに年上の社員の方に、理由もなく嫌味を言われることがあるのでその子に共感して悲しく思いました。 せっかく食事を楽しみにしてここに来ているのでそういった対応をみると残念に思います。 家族ともに昔からすごく好きなお店なので改善願いたいです🙏

(Translated by Google) I think it's good value for money. I went in while searching for lunch after seeing Horyuji Temple, and the variety of food was good for the price. I enjoyed sushi, steamed eggs, cold buckwheat noodles, and even drinks ~~^^ (Original) 가격대비 괜찮은것 같아여.호류지보구 점심 먹으려고 검색하다가 들어갔는데 가격대비 음식이 종류별로 잘나왔어여.초밥계란찜 냉모밀국수음료까지 잘먹었습니다 ~~^^

(Translated by Google) I ordered the Sato Shabu Premium (pork). Overall, it was delicious. I was satisfied with the taste at this price. I made my own egg tempura, white rice, tempura sauce, and green onions, and it was delicious. The only thing I was disappointed about was that the sushi was nigirazushi, not nigirizushi. (Original) さとしゃぶのプレミアム（豚）を頼みました。全体的には美味しかったです。この価格でこの味ならば満足です。自作で卵の天麩羅、白ご飯、天つゆ、ねぎで卵かけご飯を作ったら最高でした。残念だったのは、寿司が握り寿司ではなく、握ら寿司だったこと。

(Translated by Google) I stumbled upon this restaurant while looking for lunch at Horyuji Temple. It wasn't particularly delicious, but I thought it was good value for money. I added 160 yen to the basic cold buckwheat noodles. With five kinds of tempura, sushi, and a custard egg custard drink, I paid just under 1,800 yen, and it was a satisfying meal for the price. It wasn't exactly delicious, but the place was clean, and you order at a kiosk and a robot serves you. It was refreshing~~^^ (Original) 호류지보구 점심 먹으려고 찾다가 들어간 식당인데여.아주 맛있지는 않지만 가격대비 괜찮은것 같아여.모밀은 기본 냉모밀에서 160엔 더해서 추가했구여. 덴뿌라5종류에 생선초밥 계란찜 음료까지 1800엔 조금 안되게 결제했는데 가격대비 만족스런 식사였습니다. 완전 맛있지는 않지만 장소도 깨끗한 편이고 키오스크로 주문하고 로봇이 서빙합니다.시원했습니다~~^^

Not welcoming to foreigners.

(Translated by Google) There are surprisingly few shops in front of the gates of Horyuji Temple, so it is very valuable. The inside of the store is relatively spacious, so you can relax. I think it would be rude to say that the coffee was unexpected, but it dripped properly. I didn't order it this time, but I'm sure it will be delicious. (Original) 法隆寺の門前には意外とお店が少ないので貴重です。店内は比較的広々としていますのでゆっくりできます。 コーヒーは意外と言っては失礼とは思いますが、ちゃんとドリップしていました。今回は注文してなかったのですが、きっと美味しいと思います。

(Translated by Google) I had tea here and was overcome with the feeling of being transported back to the Nara period, or even the Showa period. I had a fried chicken set meal, which was both filling and tasty. I was impressed by the simplicity of the restaurant, which is not run like a feudal lord, despite being in a prime location on the approach to the temple! I highly recommend taking a break here and reflecting on the long history of Horyuji Temple. (Original) ここでお茶しましたが、奈良時代いや昭和時代に戻ったような感覚に襲われました。食べたのは唐揚げ定食ですが、きちんとしたボリュームとお味で、参道中の超一等地にもかかわらず、殿様経営をしない、その素朴さに感動しました！ ぜひこちらで一休憩されて、法隆寺の長い歴史に思いを馳せてみてくださいね。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by a restaurant when I visited Horyuji Temple, and I was drawn to the Nara specialty "Kakizaru Udon", which is not Nara's famous persimmon leaf sushi, and ordered it in the restaurant with a retro Showa atmosphere! Does it look like persimmon color? However, when I tried eating it, it tasted like normal soba. The price was 930 yen (tax included), which was a bit high considering the quantity, but I was satisfied because it was a commemorative dish to commemorate my visit to Horyuji Temple. (Original) 法隆寺訪問の際に立ち寄った食事処、昭和レトロ漂う店内で奈良名物の柿の葉寿司ならぬ「柿ざるうどん」に惹かれオーダー！ 見た目は柿色？だが食べてみると普通のそばといった何とも言えない味、、 価格も930円(税込)と量の割には高めの設定でしたが、法隆寺参拝の記念ということで満足です。

(Translated by Google) I had the pork fillet cutlet set meal. It was very filling and came out piping hot. I thought there was a little too much batter, but it was delicious♪ From the afternoon onwards, customers started coming in looking for the cafe menu. It has an old-fashioned feel, but I would definitely recommend this restaurant♪ (Original) ヒレカツ定食をいただきました。 ボリューム感があり、熱々で出てきました。 少しコロモが多いかなと思いましたけど、美味しかったです♪ 昼過ぎからは喫茶メニューを目当てにお客様が 入ってきていました。 昔ながらの感じがしますが、オススメしたいお店です♪

(Translated by Google) There was persimmon udon and persimmon soft serve on the board, so I waited quite a while because Horyuji is synonymous with persimmons, but I ordered the persimmon udon and it tasted...no persimmon flavor at all. And the persimmon soft serve, which also doesn't taste like persimmon. The coffee tasted strangely like a latte. It seems difficult to reproduce the taste of persimmon. The man at the store was running around guiding everyone, ordering, serving, paying, making soft-serve ice cream, and setting the table, but he was very polite. thank you for your hard work (Original) ボードに柿うどんや柿ソフトとなっていたので法隆寺といえば柿、という事でかなり待ちましたが柿ざるうどんを注文、味は…全く柿の味はしません。そして、柿ソフト、これもまた柿の味はしません。不思議とカフェラテのようなコーヒーの味がしました。柿の味の再現は難しいようです。 お店の男性の方案内、注文、配膳、会計、ソフトクリーム作り、下げ膳と全てやっていて走り回っていましたが丁寧でした。お疲れ様です

(Translated by Google) Is it the signboard girl in the parking lot that matters more than what the store is like? Auntie is the best! Parking is free if you buy something. Dogs can also be used as long as they are empty and held. The lady in the parking lot was so awesome that to be honest, she didn't sell much (sorry), but I ended up buying about 5,000 yen worth of souvenirs lol. I thought it would be cheaper to park somewhere else, but I have no regrets since I have become a fan of Auntie! I will stop here every time I go to Horyuji Temple from now on. (Original) お店がどうこうよりも、駐車場の看板娘？のおばちゃんが最高です！ 何か買い物をすれば駐車場は無料です。 空いていれは犬も抱っこしていれば利用できます。 駐車場のおばちゃんが最高すぎて正直大したものは売ってない(失礼)が、お土産を5000円くらい買ってしまった笑 他のところに停めたほうが結局安いやんとも思ったがおばちゃんのファンになってしまったので悔いはない！ これから法隆寺に行くときは毎回ここに停める。
