Temple Town

Nara, Japan’s first permanent capital, is renowned for its ancient temples like Todai-ji, home to the Great Buddha, and its sacred atmosphere. Nara Park, where friendly deer roam freely, adds a unique charm to the city’s historical setting. Other highlights include Kasuga Taisha Shrine and the historic streets of Naramachi. Nara offers a peaceful blend of cultural heritage and natural beauty just a short trip from Kyoto or Osaka.
