What to expect

  1. Nara Prefectural Office
    Pass by
    You can see the whole city from the rooftop of the prefecture: the mountains, Nara Park, Kasuga-taisha and Todaiji. It's a good way to start the day.
  2. Todai-ji Temple
    Pass by
    Japan’s largest sitting Buddha is waiting patiently for you in his home, the Todaiji, the world’s largest wooden construction.
  3. Kasuga Grand Shrine
    Pass by
    The great Kasuga Shrine is located inside Nara Park. You will feel the presence of the ancient deities and that of their messengers, the so cute little deer.
  4. Nara Park
    Pass by
    Nara Park is home to the city's 1,400 deer or shika deer. This is an opportunity for us to interact with them.
  5. Naramachi Koshino Ie
    Pass by
    Naramachi is the old town of Nara. This district dates back to the 8th century and its architecture has hardly changed since the Meiji era. A nice little walk then we retrace our steps, until the Check-out point of the day.
