Tōdai-ji (Eastern Great Temple) is a Buddhist temple complex located in the city of Nara, Japan, initially constructed in the 750s.

Its Great Buddha Hall, the largest wooden building in the world, houses the world's largest bronze statue of the Buddha Vairocana, known in Japanese simply as Daibutsu.

The Great Buddha Hall (Daibutsuden) has been rebuilt twice after fire.

The current building is finished in 1709, and although immense—fifty-seven meters long and fifty meters wide—it is actually thirty percent smaller than its predecessor.
