Nara Park
  • 50m
Nara Park, located in the historic city of Nara, was once part of the grounds of Kofuku-ji Temple from the Nara period. This expansive park combines historical significance with natural beauty. Its resident deer, considered sacred messengers in Shinto belief, roam freely, and visitors can enjoy the unique experience of feeding them special deer crackers, known as "shika-senbei." As a well-maintained urban oasis, Nara Park features picturesque landscapes, including cherry blossoms in spring and vibrant autumn foliage. With its tranquil green spaces and scenic pathways, it provides a peaceful retreat from city life. A visit to Nara Park offers an immersive experience, blending historical depth with natural charm and modern amenities, making it a memorable destination.

Kasuga Taisha Shrine, a historic and revered Shinto site in Nara, Japan, has been a focal point of worship for centuries, particularly for ancient noble families. Tradition holds that the shrine’s deity arrived on a deer, making these animals sacred messengers of the gods and an integral part of the community. The shrine is surrounded by a lush, untouched primordial forest, preserved since ancient times, which enhances its spiritual significance and serene atmosphere.
Todai-ji Temple

In Nara, Todai-ji Daibutsuden, or the Great Buddha Hall, is a must-see for its immense historical and spiritual significance. Home to one of Japan's largest bronze Buddha statues, standing at about 15 meters (50 feet) tall, the Great Buddha (Daibutsu) exudes a powerful sense of serenity. The hall itself, one of the world’s largest wooden buildings, was originally constructed in the 8th century and rebuilt in the 17th century. Its grand architecture and spacious interior highlight traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Visitors will be struck by the hall’s impressive scale and the peaceful presence of the Great Buddha.
