Google Reviews
Definitivamente, este es uno de los Templos en Nara que no se pueden perder. Perfectamente conservado, fuera de la ruta turística principal y de relevancia histórica, Yakushi-ji tiene todo para dedicarle al menos un par de horas. Todo el complejo es impresionante así que vale la pena animarse a visitarlo (el autobús 75 termina ahí su ruta).
Lindo lugar, alejado del centro de Nara. El costo de la entrada es una estafa, 1100 yens la visita estándar y una de las pagodas está tapada porque está en reparación.
Si vais a Nara y tenéis la oportunidad de visitar este sitio, hacedlo sin dudarlo. Templo hermoso, algo alejado del centro de Nara, pero que merece muchísimo la pena, con una pagoda que data del siglo 7
