A temple bell and sutra in early moning
My uncle who lived in Nara sent a video. He took this video at 6:00 AM.
I think Japanese bell's sound is very heavy, that is characteristic. And this sound makes us rememberring quietness.
.
Kōfuku-ji is a Buddhist temple in the city of Nara.
Kofuku-ji has Five-story pagoda.

That's a delightful thing to say: the sound makes us remember quietness.

I like it a lot. A lot a lot.

Thanks Lucy.

Kieran,
Hello!! How are you?
Thank you for comments. I think Japanese bells are different of Big Ben's.

That is a lot different sound than you would hear from a church bell around here.

Jay,
Yes, that is a lot different sand and Japanse bells need a wooden bell hammer.

That was very refreshing in many ways. thank you and for your uncle.
We also have bells in temples, and some of them resonate almost this long.
