#1 of Best Things to Do in Nara
City Parks

Apart from of course the feline friends that roam around the park, it’s overall an extremely beautiful place to spend a cool winters morning, even when there is hardly any vegetation and the grass is dry and brown. My favourite activity was eating at this little udon restaurant perched at the edge of Sarusawa-Ike Pond, with a Starbucks on the other side. The famous mochi shop with the pounding chefs is just down the road leading away from the Starbucks. I want to walk up Wakakusayama Hill in Nara Park and see the whole city from the top, in the future.

Very pure and impressively massive wooden temple , the largest wooden building in the world , with a serene and grand bronze statue of Buddha inside, one of the largest Buddha figures on earth. I first visited Nara and Todaiji almost 40 years ago. Nara is a quiet city. The sightseeing of Todaiji and the Nara park, with its adorable and sometimes a bit naughty deers, brings you a genuine moment of joy and tranquility.

It was quite a long walk from Nara station to reach the temple, but there are so many sightseeing spots in between, so you don't really feel the long walk. The temple gives off very tranquil feeling.

Very good and convenient, it doesn't matter if you don't have a paper version. It can also be used to download from the mailbox to show the scan code on the mobile phone. If you want to buy a lot of surrounding tax refunds, you can buy it early and store it in the cabinet next to the tax refund. You can play directly without taking things.

Going to Osaka Castle Tianshou Pavilion will definitely pass through Osaka Castle Park. There are many tourists passing by and there is a high traffic. The area of the park is not large, but the place is very clean and the environment is beautiful, which is also a good attraction.

The word Jianzhen Dongdu should be heard by many people, telling the story of Tang Dynasty monk Dongdu Japan spreading Buddhism and advanced Chinese culture. Tang Zhaoti Temple in Nara is the temple built by the Japanese for Jianzhen after the arrival of the temple, and there are many monuments and structures left in the past.

Remember 2019.11 Kansai Late Autumn Walk~ Xingfu Temple is very close to Kintetsu Nara Station, just a few minutes walk away, and there are deer along the street. The highest temperature on this day in late November was 20 degrees. The huge venue of Xingfu Temple was just a few times in front of the temple and the high tower. I had been sweating. I came back and checked the information before I knew that Xingfu Temple contained so many buildings: there were Zhongjintang, Dongjintang, Nanyuantang, Beiyuantang, Five-Tower, Triple Tower, Dayutang, etc. At that time, I didn't carefully distinguish it, but I bought tickets to enter Zhongjintang to visit. You can't take pictures inside, everyone visits quietly and prays, and there are not many tourists. The monastery always gives people a sense of tranquility and peace, and feels relaxed and happy. Dongjintang is next to the five-fold tower, and Nanyuantang is a building with a hexagonal spire. Each temple should be purchased separately to enter.
