苏河家园:“When traveling to Japan, you will come to Nara Park, which covers a vast area and combines historical sites with natural landscapes. There are free-living sika deer and world heritage sites such as Todaiji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine. Tourists can feed the deer with senbei at close range and experience unique interaction. It is worth a visit.”
happyvenus0510:“It was pretty good. I entered the park at 8am and left at 7pm. It was pretty good. I also bought 4 express passes to avoid some queues. I went to Super Nintendo World and played Yoshi's Adventure, Mario Martin's Car, Donkey Kong's Crazy Mine Car, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, Hollywood Dream Ride and Back to the World, and watched the Rock & Roll show. It was really tiring, but it was also really fun. Overall it was pretty good.”
晓舟工作室:“Going to Nara, if you don't go to Dongdaeji, it's a pity. Because you will miss the hall of the world's largest wooden structure, you will also miss the great opportunity to feel the charm of Tang Feng, and it is even more difficult to experience the joy of Liang Sicheng and other Chinese architectural masters who found Wutaishan Foguang Temple!”

Open today at 09:00-22:00(Tickets available until 21:30; admission ends at 21:30)
爱睡懒懒觉的我:“The observation deck is worth visiting. There is a shopping mall downstairs. I got a coupon for foreigners with a 5% discount. If you spend more than 5,500, you can go to the 3rd floor for tax-free shopping. You can go shopping for a whole day. It is a very good shopping mall. Children in the observation deck are half price. It is recommended that children buy tickets on site for cheaper prices. The 16th floor and below are free. After buying or exchanging tickets on the 16th floor, take the elevator to the 60th floor observation deck. When you look up from the elevator, you can see star-like lights. You can take videos. It feels like traveling through time. It is a very good experience.”
Open today at 09:00-18:00 (admission ends at 17:30)
逛东逛西的银溪:“It's about a 1.2-kilometer walk from two subway stations.
Through the lush greenery of Osaka Castle Park, you'll find the whitewashed, green-tiled castle tower. This five-story Japanese castle has eight floors for visitors, making it compact yet fully functional. My favorite is the holographic display on the seventh floor, which vividly depicts the life of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The view from the top observation deck is average. It's recommended to purchase e-tickets in advance (saving at least a half-hour in line) and take the stairs (elevator waits are longer). While some areas are windowless, the exquisite architecture and historical atmosphere are still worth a visit.
Adults under 15 are free. Adult tickets were purchased through Ctrip and were very reasonably priced.
We spent over three hours exploring almost all the exhibits and videos.”
风起鹰鲨:“Near the highest point of Nara Park, it takes more than 20 minutes to walk after getting off the bus. There are many lights and deer along the way. Pay attention to the business hours. If you go too late, you can't get in. If you have been to Kasuga Taisha, you can go to Wakakusa Mountain to watch the sunset. You must arrive before 17:00, otherwise the ticket seller will lock the door after get off work and you can only go out but not in.”
ㅣreccoㅣ:“It is a shopping street with a long history.
It is an excellent place to explore the common people’s culture in Osaka, Japan.
The small shops on both sides are full of nostalgic style of the times.
A dazzling array of products and various specialty shops,
There are also very exaggerated signboards, which can take many good photos.
It is also a concentrated place for fried skewers.
You can feel the local people’s eating and party habits.”
fyqj1234:“Okami Shrine is located in Yamato Province, which is now the location of Nara Prefecture, but it is still much farther away than Nara City. As the mythical Miwa Mountain, it enshrines Omononushi, who has a very high deity status and is also known as one of the oldest shrines in Japan.
It is a little hard to come here, and it will be very difficult without a car. Usually, there are basically no tourists here, except for those who occasionally worship. The entire Miwa Mountain is Okami Shrine, which is mainly divided into three shrines. In addition to the main shrine of Miwa Myojin, the other two are Sakai Shrine and Hisahiko Shrine, which enshrine the incarnation of Omononushi. The Okami Shrine located in the middle is also the oldest shrine.
The main hall is actually not big, but this shrine has several interesting places. First of all, you are required to purify yourself before worshiping here, that is, shake the white prayer stick to yourself, and then worship. Anyway, I have never seen it in other places. In addition, the most popular offering here is eggs, which may be related to the snake god of Miwa.
As a mythology lover, it is worth coming here to satisfy the desire to see Mt. Miwa and Omononushi, but as a tourist attraction, this place is not particularly recommended. Another feature is the super tall torii gate at the largest entrance of their house, which can be seen from a long distance, which is a highlight.”
