Discover the Yakushiji Temple on a guided tour with Mr.Ishii, a master craftsman. Experience the ancient practice of “O-shakyo (sutra-copying).”
Connecting the Prayers of Ancient People to the Future in Yakushiji Temple.

Mr. Ishii, a master craftsman who appeared on NHK's New Project X -Challengers -, will take you on a tour of Yakushiji Temple. He learned the essence of Tenpyo-era craftsmanship from the late Tsunekazu Nishioka. He is still involved in the daily restoration and reconstruction of the Hakuho Garan (the Hakuho-period temple complex) at Yakushiji Temple.
In its 1,300-year history, Yakushiji Temple has lost many halls through fires, earthquakes, and typhoons. The East Pagoda is the only building that has existed since the founding of the Yakushiji Temple and is the oldest structure built in Heijo-kyo from 710 to 784, located in Nara. In 2009, the East Pagoda was dismantled entirely and repaired for the first time in its history, and after restoration work, it was completed in February 2021.

Participants of the tour will hear and experience three stories.
The first is about the dismantling and repair of the East Pagoda of Yakushiji Temple, which Fenollosa described as “frozen music”; the second is about the "Traditional skills, techniques and knowledge for the conservation and transmission of wooden architecture in Japan" which was registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2020; and the third is about the essence of temple master craftsmanship, which has been handed down over 1300 years of history.

Through the experience of “O-shakyo (sutra-copying),” one of the attractive features of Yakushiji Temple, visitors will learn how to connect the prayers of ancient people to the future and contribute to the restoration of the Hakuho Garan.
You can also experience traditional Yariganna (Japanese Spear Shaped Plane) at a woodworking shop on the temple grounds.
