Nara

Address: Todaiji Temple: 〒630-8587 Nara Prefecture, Nara City, Zoshicho 406-1 Kasuga Taisha Shrine: 〒630-8212 Nara Prefecture, Nara City, Kasuganocho 160 Highlights: Deer, Todaiji Temple, Kasuga Taisha Shrine Review: Nara, once an ancient capital of Japan, is a city filled with traditional low-rise buildings scattered among grassy parks, exuding a natural and rustic charm. Deer seem to be the main residents here, freely roaming the grasslands, roads, and parks, interacting with visitors in a delightful manner. Todaiji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine showcase centuries-old Buddhist and Shinto architecture, including ceremonial structures, gates, and artifacts, harmoniously blending with the natural surroundings. You can walk from Todaiji Temple to Kasuga Taisha Shrine, enjoying the ancient trees and scenic views along the way. With Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, and Nara all in close proximity, nature enthusiasts should not miss Nara. Rating: 9/10

The deer here will bow and beg for food, so cute! 🥰 You'll see deer along the way, and even more at Nara Park 🦌... Near the park are teahouses, and beyond that are forests and deer. Further in is Kasuga Taisha Shrine ⛩️, said to be one of Japan's oldest shrines! Access: Kintetsu Nara Station, Exit 2
