Nara Adventure (Part 2): The Awe of the Great Buddha and the Temptation of Nara's Cuisine.

Continuing from the previous episode: 📍Todaiji Temple - The Magnificent Great Buddha and Numerous Souvenir Shops After leaving Nara Park, we headed straight to Nara's most iconic landmark - Todaiji Temple! The architecture here is incredibly massive, and stepping inside, you'll be struck by its grandeur. The main attraction inside is the gigantic Great Buddha of Nara, which is several times larger than you can imagine! Looking up at the Buddha's serene expression gives you a sense of peace, and just standing there, you can feel the solemn atmosphere it brings. But aside from the Great Buddha, there's another highlight - the souvenir shops! Outside Todaiji Temple, there are many shops selling souvenirs, from cute deer-themed items to various unique trinkets. It's super fun to browse through, and it's definitely a great place to buy souvenirs. 📍Higashimuki Shopping Street - Nara's Food Paradise The last stop is Higashimuki Shopping Street, one of the busiest shopping streets in Nara, filled with unique snacks and souvenirs, making it a foodie's paradise! From Nara's local persimmon leaf sushi to various cute deer-themed snacks, you'll want to buy something every few steps 😃. The shopping street isn't long, but the atmosphere is great. After a full day of sightseeing, coming here to grab a bite and buy some souvenirs is the perfect way to end your Nara trip. It's truly awesome! In conclusion, Nara is the perfect combination of history and adorable deer! This trip to Nara, from world-class historical sites to deer roaming the streets, and ending with a culinary feast, is highly recommended! If you're visiting Kansai, you must spend a day in Nara. Its unique charm will make you happy, satisfied, and bring home a bunch of cute souvenirs!
