Here is a quick summary about what we are going to walk and explore during these 8 hours.
- Rooftop of Nara Prefectural Government Office
You can see all over the city from the rooftop: city, mountain, Nara Park, Kasuga-taisha and Todaiji. A good way to start the day!
- Todaiji temple
The biggest sitting Buddha of Japon is here, waiting for you! His home, Todaiji is the world’s biggest wooden building.
- Kasuga-Taisha Shrine
Kasuga Taisha is located inside Nara park. You will experience the presence of the Japanese old gods and of their messengers, the cute deer.
- Nara Park
Nara Park is the home of 1400 shika deer. We meet them when we walk from Kasuga-taisha to the old town. We can even pet them.
- Naramachi Old Town
Naramachi is the old town of Nara. Its traditional architecture has not changed from the Meiji era and even before. It is a real pleasure to walk around this district. Walking, we will come back to our starting point.
- Kofukuji Temple
We will walk through Kofukuji with its 50 meters 5 storied pagoda. Fresh air, history and deer everywhere.
We are sure you will like it and we are waiting for you!
