Quick escape to peaceful Nara from Tokyo

There are many convenient public transport options to get to Nara from Tokyo like local trains or rail. 1. Nara deer park Highlights - Definitely an iconic must visit place in Nara. Buy some special crackers to feed the deers and interact with them. Don't be surprised if you see some deers "bowing" to you! Cute and fun place for families and children 2. Todaiji Temple Highlights - This temple is near the Nara deer park. Be awed by the huge statues in this famous Buddhist temple in Nara. 3. Heijo palace site Highlights - This was the imperial residence in the Japanese capital city Heijo kyo during Nara period. Huge area with many reconstructed palaces. Slightly fuether away from Nara deer park but accessible by public transport.
