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
