奈良-东大寺 Nara Tōdai-ji

从大阪乘坐火车出发去京都，中间会经过奈良，奈良比较小，所以我们决定不在奈良过夜，早上到，晚上就乘车去京都。
When we took train from Osaka to Kyoto, we would stop by Nara. Nara is a small place. And we decided not to stay in Nara. We planned to walked around in Nara in daytime then leave by the end of the day.

行李可以放在火车站里面的行李寄存柜。不过走的时候要记着拿走啊。我就差一点不记得拿。
The luggage can be temporarily checked in the coin lockers in the railway station. Just remember to bring it back. I nearly forgot to take my luggage with me when I checked in the train.

出站后放好行李，先看看巴士线路。
After got off the train and checked the luggage, we studied the bus-route first.

奈良的交通很简单，市内主要是巴士，大部分景点巴士都可以到达。
The public transportation in Nara is simple. Most of the scenic spots can be reached by bus.

先去东大寺。
We went to Tōdai-ji first.

简单介绍一下东大寺，以下资料来自网络：

佛寺是728年由信奉佛教的圣武天皇建立的。东大寺是全国68所国分寺的总寺院。因为建在首都平城京以东，所以被称作东大寺。又称大华严寺，金色光明四大天王护国寺。另外有西大寺。
东大寺大佛殿，正面宽度57米，深50米，为世界最大的木造建筑。大佛殿内，放置着高15米以上的大佛像・卢舍那佛。东大寺院内还有南大门、二月堂、三月堂、正仓院等。南大门有很著名的双体金刚力士像。二月堂能够俯视大佛殿和眺望奈良市区。
中国唐代高僧鉴真和尚曾在这里设坛授戒。1997年秋，出席“中韩日三国佛教友好交流会议”的三国代表曾在这里共同举行了祈祷世界和平法会。

Let's have a briefing of Tōdai-ji. The following information is from Internet.

Tōdai-ji (Eastern Great Temple) is a Buddhist temple complex that was once one of the powerful Seven Great Temples, located in the city of Nara, Japan. Its Great Buddha Hall (Daibutsuden) houses the world's largest bronze statue of the Buddha Vairocana, known in Japanese as Daibutsu. The temple also serves as the Japanese headquarters of the Kegon school of Buddhism. The temple is a listed UNESCO World Heritage Site as one of the "Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara", together with seven other sites including temples, shrines and places in the city of Nara. Deer, regarded as messengers of the gods in the Shinto religion, roam the grounds freely.

东大寺外面就是奈良公园，这里有很多可爱的小鹿。游客可以买鹿仙贝（鹿饼干）去喂食小鹿，借以亲近这可爱的动物。
Outside Tōdai-ji it is Nara park. There are a lot of lovely deer here. The people can buy the deer-biscuit to feed the deer and get close to them.

小鹿见到人就会很殷勤的鞠躬，希望得到食物。通常鹿多的地方，拿着鹿仙贝，都会被围攻。
Deer will be bowing when it sees someone is holding the deer-biscuit for food. Sometimes too many deer will be around you for the deer-biscuit.

午饭简单买了柿叶寿司，就是用柿子叶子包裹的寿司，据说是奈良特产。而且柿子叶也可以留下来去喂小鹿。
We bought Persimmon Leaf Sushi, which were sushi wrapped in a persimmon leaf. It is local food and the persimmon leaves can feed deer.

嗯，味道不错！Um, yummy!

下午去了春日大社，里面在整修，所以也没进去，就在附近随便逛了逛。
In the afternoon we went to Kasuga Grand Shrine. We didn't go in there because they were decorating. Then we walked around there.

通常进寺庙前都要洗手的。
Normally people will wash their hands before going into a temple in Japan. It is said to clean the spirit.

出了春日大社区域，附近是纵横交错很干净整洁的小路。
Outside of Kasuga Grand Shrine area there are many clean and neat streets.

这是一家卖茶的人家，不过很后悔没走进去看看，日本的家庭庭院都是很棒的。
This was a shop for tea. It is a little disappointing not to go inside or to have a look since most of Japanese courtyards are very beautiful!
