Tamukeyama Hachimangu Shrine
It was constructed in 794, around the time when the Great Buddha was built, in order to protect Todaiji Temple. It is also famous for its beautiful autumn leaves, and Sugawara-no Michizane wrote a waka poem, which says "I feel very sorry that I could not even prepare nusa(gift) to offer to the gods for this trip. Instead, I will use these beautiful colored autumn leaves as offerings." The treasure house in azekura-zukuri style(Important Cultural Property) was relocated from Todaiji Temple.
