#OctoberTravelSupport 📍 Nara Park Mizunochaya Review Walking along the inner path of Nara Park, you'll find a traditional teahouse quietly hidden among the trees. 🍵 The thatched roof and mossy stone steps create a truly Japanese movie-like atmosphere. Inside, the subtle scent of wood wafts through the air, and deer sometimes pass by the outdoor tables. 🦌 The space, nestled within nature, was the perfect place to relax. Udon is the main dish, so many people order the warm chicken udon or vegetable udon. I chose the clear, lightly seasoned broth, which was perfect for a post-walk snack. The portions were just right, and the food came out quickly. While the menu isn't extensive, it's enough for a quick meal or a cup of tea. More than anything, the atmosphere is stunning. Even within the park, the sounds of birdsong and the wind outweigh the sounds of people. 🍃 It's much quieter than the bustling city of Nara, and it's a place you wouldn't want to miss even for a quick stop. This teahouse is a perfect break from your travels. 🏠 Address: 30 Harunino-cho, Nara City, Nara Prefecture 🕓 Hours: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM 💴 Recommended Menus: Chicken Udon / Red Bean Porridge / Matcha

#OctoberTravelSupport 📍 Nara National Museum Review I visited the Nara National Museum, located inside Nara Park. It wasn't as large as I expected, but the exhibits were rich and the quiet atmosphere was great. Perhaps because most of the artifacts are Buddhist, the overall atmosphere was serene and sacred. 🕊️ Inside, a Meiji-era building and a modern new building are connected, and the unique atmosphere of the old building was quite charming. The museum focuses on Buddhist art, such as Buddhist statues and Buddhist paintings, and each piece was exquisitely detailed. The dim lighting made it easy to appreciate, and the lack of crowds allowed for a leisurely viewing. The explanations for the pieces were mainly in English and Japanese, so it was a bit difficult to understand. Still, the artwork itself had a strong presence, so it was impressive enough to simply look at. Nara Park is right next to the museum, so it was easy to plan a tour. A deer viewing → museum → Todaiji Temple tour was perfect. 🦌🎋 I think they occasionally host special exhibitions, but when I went, only the permanent exhibition was open. Overall, it's a quiet and well-organized space, making it a great place to take a break between temple visits in Nara. 🏛️ Address: 50 Todai-cho, Nara City, Nara Prefecture 🕓 Hours: 9:30–17:00 (Closed Mondays)

#OctoberTravelGrant 📍 Nara Park Oriole Falls Review This quiet waterfall is just a short walk inside Nara Park. True to its name, the melody of birdsong and water created a truly peaceful atmosphere. 🍃 Unlike Todaiji Temple or Nara Park's deer area, it wasn't crowded, making it a perfect spot for a quick break. While the waterfall isn't large, the surrounding mossy rocks and trees created a tranquil atmosphere, reminiscent of a traditional Japanese garden. The water was particularly strong after the rain, and the mist created by the sunlight made for great photo opportunities. 📸 A nearby bench is also a great place to enjoy a snack or just relax while listening to the sound of the water. There were more locals strolling than tourists, allowing for a quiet and natural experience. ✔️ Tips: • About a 10-minute walk after seeing the deer at Nara Park • No admission fee / Photo opportunity available • The stream is even more beautiful after rain 🏞️ Address: Harunino-cho, Nara City, Nara Prefecture 🕓 Hours: Open year-round (no lighting at night)

#OctoberTravelGrant 📍 Nara Park Oriole Falls Visit Review *Oriole Falls (ウグイスの滝)*, located just a short walk inside Nara Park, was much quieter and more serene than I expected. 🌿 Perhaps because most tourists are concentrated in the deer area, there weren't many people here. The only sounds were the water and birdsong, making it feel like a temporary escape from the city. The water was clear and cold, refreshing to dip my hands in, and the moss-covered area around the falls evoked a sense of natural beauty. The waterfall itself isn't large, but the surrounding lush forest and stone bridge create a uniquely Japanese atmosphere. 🍃 It was a particularly rainy day, so the water flow was just right, and the mist rising from the water made for great photo opportunities. The directions are well-marked on Google Maps, so you won't have to worry about getting lost. However, the rocks near the falls can be a bit slippery, so wearing sneakers is a must. It's the perfect stop after exploring Todaiji Temple or the main area of Nara Park. It's a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of deer viewing and enjoy a relaxing time in nature. ☺️ 🏞 Address: Harunino-cho, Nara City, Nara Prefecture 🕒 Hours: Open 24/7 (Free admission)

#OctoberTravelSupport 📍 Nara Park (奈良公園) Review This is the most memorable place during my Nara trip🦌 It's on the way to Todaiji Temple, so I stopped by naturally. The park itself is incredibly spacious and peaceful. The sight of deer freely roaming the lawn was impressive. When you approached, they'd nod their heads in greeting, which was incredibly cute and fascinating☺️ There's no admission fee, and there are shops selling "shikasenbei" (deer snacks) to feed the deer. Buy a bag of snacks and the deer will come to you, but be sure to keep your bag tightly closed, as they'll get too close😂 Still, they don't attack people or feel intimidated. Overall, it's a relaxing and peaceful place. The park is perfect for a stroll, with ponds, wooden paths, shrines, and temples lining the grounds.🌿 During cherry blossom season, it's bustling with photographers, and in autumn, the leaves change their vibrant colors, creating a different atmosphere throughout the four seasons. It's a place where you can experience the natural charm of Japan, completely different from the noise of the city.🍃 📍 Address: Nara, Nara Prefecture, 630-8211, Japan 🕒 Opening Hours: Open 24/7 🎫 Admission: Free (some temples and facilities require admission)
