Discover the Muro Art Forest, a unique park designed by environmental artist Dani Karavan, offering a blend of nature and art on a scenic hilltop overlooking Muro Temple in Nara Prefecture. Explore the beautiful corridors of monuments set within lush greenery, intersected by the 34°32' north latitude line, known as the path of the sun. Located a 20-minute walk from Muro Temple (accessible by a 15-minute bus ride from Muroguchi-Ono Station), the park provides a tranquil escape with photogenic spots and thought-provoking art. Note that the park involves some walking on gravel paths and grassy areas, so it may be challenging with strollers. Open to adults for ¥410 and high school students for ¥200, it's an ideal spot for a peaceful afternoon immersed in art and nature.
