How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A temple in Nara with a tall pagoda and a gate at the top of a long stone stairway.
The real place
Kōfuku-ji was the family temple of the powerful Fujiwara clan. Its five-storey pagoda, about 50 m tall, was rebuilt in 1426 and is the second tallest in Japan. A major restoration began in 2023, which is why scaffolding shows at its base.
Visiting
The temple grounds are open and free; the National Treasure Museum has the famous Ashura statue.
