Many spots near Osaka are popular
among foreign tourists: Kobe, Kyoto, and
Nara. This area, called Kansai, was home
to the Imperial court until it was moved
to Tokyo in the late 1800s. To this day,
you can get a taste of ancient Japan at
the many temples and shrines in the area.
Question: This is Horyuji, a famous
temple in Nara. How long ago was this
temple constructed?
