This huge wooden building houses one of the biggest statues of Buddha in Japan. It's at Todai-ji in Nara.

Thanks Adam! The original building was actually bigger (the current one dates from 1709)! The bronze buddha inside is amazing - to give an idea of its size, the buddha's hand is about six feet tall. The daibutsu dates back to 752.
