- Nara Nara-shi Zoshicho 406-1 Todaiji
- This bell tower is located on the grounds of the Todaiji temple in Zoshi-cho, Nara City. The belfry was rebuilt in the Kamakura period by the priest Eisai. The bonsho bell which hangs within it was cast in 752 and it and the belfry have been designated a National Treasure. When the bell is rung 108 times as is tradition in Japan on New Year's Eve, regular people, in groups of eight, get to ring the bell once on a first-come, first-served basis, with ultimately more than 800 people getting to ring the bell.

Nara Areas
With a reputation almost as stellar as that of Kyoto, Nara is a must-visit for those searching for the remains of "traditional Japan." The largely green Nara city holds the majority of the prefecture’s treasures, such as the iconic Todai-ji Temple, in which a 15-meter tall Great Buddha sits, and Nara Park, where deer flock to befriend passersby. While mountains are by no means hard to come by in this area, for hiking with a reward, head to the Kii Mountains’ Yoshino district in spring, when the hillsides put on an impressive display of white and pink cherry blossoms.
