2025 Nara Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#Osaka Attractions Manyo Botanical Gardens, a treasure spot that is often overlooked in Nara travel guides, is actually worth a visit. This botanical garden is located within the Kasuga Taisha Shrine and is a must-see when visiting the shrine. Next to it is the famous Nara specialty Lotus House, where you can try the delicious Manyo porridge. There will be staff handing out flyers along the way, and you can easily find it by following the crowd. Manyo Botanical Gardens is also a holy place for photography. It attracts tourists from all over the world. Everyone likes to take beautiful photos from various angles. The scenery changes throughout the year. As an exquisite small botanical garden, it has many special parks such as the Manyo Garden, the Grain Village, the Camellia Garden, and the Wisteria Garden. Every April and May, this place becomes a sea of ​​flowers, with 20 different varieties of wisteria in full bloom, about 200 wisteria trees, ranging from pink to purple, white and blue, as if you are in a pink and purple flower sea in Central Europe In addition to wisteria flowers, there are also various beautiful plants and buildings here, and even a pair of turtles can be seen leisurely basking in the sun in the pond. Spending half an hour touring slowly is definitely an unforgettable experience.

It is said that Mount Fuji rewards early risers. Compared to Lake Kawaguchiko, I prefer Lake Yamanaka. Although there was no "reverse Fuji," I was already very satisfied. There was sunrise, swans, and Mount Fuji. 🚗6:30 Hirano Lakeside (Hirano no Hama) Took a taxi to Hirano no Hama. There were swans, sunrise, and Mount Fuji. 🚴10:00 Shiratori-hama After 7:00, there's a bus. Took the bus back to the hotel and rented a bicycle with electric assist. It wasn't tiring. Cycling around the lake took 2 hours. Gave up on "the park" as it opens at 11:00 and there were already many people waiting for viewing spots at 10:00. But actually, just a little bit past "the park," the scenery was also amazing. There's no need to wait specifically. After cycling around the lake, had brunch at Denny's. In the afternoon, took a bus to Lake Kawaguchiko. A perfect day. ❗️Tips The lake bus only starts running at 7:00. To see the sunrise early, you need to take a taxi or stay near Hirano. There are swans in many places, especially at Shiratori-hama, and also at Hirano. Bicycle rentals are available from 9:00 for JPY 2,000 for two hours. Rented from an elderly gentleman near Shiratori-hama. Two hours is enough to cycle around the lake and take photos. You can choose a hotel in Hirano or near a bus stop, which is very convenient.

#Osaka Attractions Todaiji Temple is the main temple of the Kegon sect in Japan, also known as the Great Kegon Temple, the Golden Light Four Heavenly Kings Gokokuji Temple, etc. Located in the east of Heijokyo (now Nara), it is one of the seven great temples of Nanto. It has a history of more than 1,200 years and is the largest wooden building in the world today. It is a true world cultural heritage. Since Emperor Shomu ordered its construction in 728 in imitation of the Chinese temple architectural structure, although Todaiji Temple has been damaged twice over the long years, its size was still as high as two-thirds when it was rebuilt in 1709, making it the best-preserved wooden structure in the world. Todaiji Temple covers a vast area, 0.8 kilometers wide from east to west and 1 kilometer long from north to south. The central courtyard is spacious, and the main hall, the Great Buddha Hall, was 11 bays wide when it was first built, with a width of 88 meters. Its grandeur is similar to the Qianyuan Hall of the Luoyang Palace in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Strolling through Todaiji Temple, you can easily feel the majestic momentum of the giant temples built by the state in Chang'an and Luoyang during the Tang Dynasty. It is the most representative of the many temple buildings in Nara and is definitely worth a visit! !

After visiting Osaka N times, I finally came up with a great 4-day tour guide for Kansai 📖. I recommend spending 1️⃣ days in Osaka, 2️⃣ days in Kyoto, and if there is still time, add 1️⃣ day in Nara. Osaka and Kyoto are both in Kansai, but they are completely different styles, but both are super suitable for taking pictures. You can appreciate the unique beauty of the ancient city, avoid the crowds as much as possible, and take pictures at the same time. Friends who are visiting Osaka for the first time can copy it with confidence! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : ☑️ When traveling in Japan, many places can be reached within a 10-minute walk. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery while walking. At this time, music is like adding BGM to the scenery along the way. When I travel, I always bring LIBRATONE's new Bird UP headphones with me. Their design is very different from other headphones, simple yet refined. They are also very light, so I won't feel uncomfortable even if I use them for a long time during long journeys. It is an open-back headphone that allows you to hear the melody of music while feeling the natural sounds around you, making your trip full of a different atmosphere. Moreover, it has a high dust and water resistance rating (IP57), making it suitable for all scenarios and weather conditions. Friends who like outdoor activities, sports, travel, and daily music listening, don't miss it~ #大坂之旅

I have been to Kansai so many times. I always come to Nara. I like the slow pace of life here. I stayed here for two days this time. I found many interesting places.

I have been to Nara for five times and finally took photos of the red leaves🍁 and the deer🦌 This trip to Kansai to hunt for red leaves is perfect · ❗️Don’t miss these places: 📍Nara Park A must-visit place for tourists to Nara! The park is full of deer. You can get in close contact with deer by buying a bundle of deer biscuits for 200 yen. 📍Kasuga Taisha Shrine is one of the three major shrines in Japan. There are towering trees on both sides as you walk in. From time to time, you can see deer running through the stele forest. 📍Wakakusa Mountain Climb up Wakakusa Mountain at sunset. It is very pleasant to watch the deer coming and going and the vast lawn. 📍Tanzan Shrine This is a small maple viewing spot with relatively few tourists. There is the only 13-story pagoda in Japan. There are also endless red leaves, which are super beautiful! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

#goingplaces Kasuga Taisha Shrine in Nara is one of the most important Shinto shrines in Japan, known for its stunning architecture and tranquil setting within the lush forest of Nara Park. The shrine is dedicated to the Kasuga kami (deities), which are associated with the Fujiwara clan, one of the most powerful families in Japanese history. The shrine is located near Nara Park and is a short walk from Kintetsu Nara Station or Nara Station. ‼️Don’t forget to look out for the deer that roam freely around the shrine grounds, as they are considered sacred messengers of the gods in the Shinto tradition. #hiddengem #traveljapan #nara #japan

The park is filled with deer that are not afraid of people and will even come up to you for food. Just hold some deer crackers, and they'll come right over. Interacting with the deer is truly therapeutic, but be careful as they can sometimes be a bit pushy and bump into people. Although the scenery here is beautiful, whether it's cherry blossom season or autumn leaves season, it can get quite crowded, especially on holidays. Also, watch out for deer droppings on the ground to avoid stepping on them! Overall, Nara Park is definitely worth a visit to experience the joy of being with the deer! Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#ItinerarySharing #100TravelStyles Nara is a city that is worth a slow night in. Unlike the hustle and bustle of Kyoto, it is very peaceful and quiet. There are many attractions and food, as well as the clingy sika deer. It's a pity to go back and forth on the same day, so you should come for at least 2 days and 1 night. The itinerary is as follows: Day 1: Osaka-JR Nara Station-Sarusawa Pond-Nara Park-Nara Tsutaya Day 2: JR Nara Station-Yoshikien-Todaiji-Wakakusa-Kyoto [Must-see attractions] 1. #東大寺 The ancient Buddhist temples in the Kyoto and Nara areas all have a strong imitation of the Tang Dynasty. The Great Buddha Hall of Todaiji Temple is the largest single wooden structure in the world. It looks majestic and huge from a distance and even more magnificent when viewed up close. A giant bronze Buddha stands before you, 15 meters high, so solemn and dignified. The best location to take pictures is to shoot the reflection of the lake from the Mirror Lake outside. It is most beautiful when there are clouds in the sky. 2. #若草山 A hill on the east side of Nara Park, the whole green grass makes people feel comfortable and relaxed. Wakakusa Mountain is high above, and you can overlook the city of Nara from afar. It is especially beautiful and dreamy when the sun sets. And there are also cute sika deer in Rukayama, it's really cute to be photographed together. 3. #奈良茑屋書店 This is a very distinctive building, with large honeycomb wood grilles used as the canopy in the corridor and roof, named Tianping Square. Nara Tsutaya Books is a "book & cafe" style bookstore. In addition to the bookstore itself, it also houses Starbucks, FamilyMart, Nakagawa Shoshichi Shoten, and Porco's Diner, a pork burger specialty store. 【Must-eat food】 1. #麺屋龍 A small ramen shop at the intersection of JR Nara Station. The space is only enough for 6 bar stools, but it can't limit the skills of the ramen chef. He will still toss the noodles and drain the soup for you on the spot! I chose the combination of Pao Li Chicken White Soup Ramen + Karaage Chicken. The chicken white soup is like a milk pot soup, as white as milk foam, rich and not greasy. It is not a problem to drink it all. 2. #奈良中谷堂 A famous red bean mochi shop in Nara. They once performed high-speed mochi pounding on a TV show. Their technique is amazing. A piece of mochi costs 180 yen. The outer skin is chewy and the filling is slightly sweet. It is quite delicious. You need to queue up a little, but you don’t have to wait too long. You can buy some to try on the way to Nara Park. 3. #Music and Coffee Located in a narrow space on the second floor at the end of Bingfandian Street, the shop only has a working bar, a cashier counter, and two tables. The entire space uses dark wood, the atmosphere is very quiet, and the wooden furniture makes it look more old-fashioned and retro. I chose the bitter and thick espresso and poured it over the vanilla ice cream, which gave me a taste of finding joy in the midst of suffering. Desserts include cheese cake and donuts, which are rich and creamy and melt in your mouth. 【Accommodation recommendation】 #奈良大和罗内酒店 Moving from Osaka to Nara for one night, I chose to stay at the Daiwa Roynet Hotel Nara Natural Hot Spring next to the Nara JR station. The main reason is that the rooms in the Daiwa series are not too small, and secondly, it is close to the JR station, which is convenient for moving to Kyoto. The standard double room is about 5 pings in size and costs about $2,000 including breakfast. Because it is a hot spring hotel, they provide indoor pajamas, which are quite comfortable and nice. [Photography and check-in spots] 1. #吉城园 The quiet and classic Japanese garden is located beside a gentle river. There are wooden teahouses and fresh green maple leaves in the garden. Under the warm sunshine, the Japanese landscape garden of Jicheng Garden is dyed into a beautiful painting. 2. #奈良公园 If you want to get up close to sika deer, Nara Park is the right choice! The sika deer are docile and not afraid of strangers. Buy a piece of senbei and both adults and children can interact with the deer and take photos. It is quite cute and healing. 3. #奈良公园バスターミナル屋上庭園 The wooden roof of the Starbucks in Nara Park has a beautiful rooftop platform. Standing on it, you can clearly see the deer in the park. It is very comfortable and easy to take pictures. It is especially atmospheric and full of artistic conception on rainy days. [Tips] There are two Nara stations, one is JR Nara Station and the other is Kintetsu Nara Station. Both stations can provide connections between Osaka and Kyoto. Kintetsu Station is quite busy and close to Nara Park, so it is convenient to walk to the scenic spot. #NaraTravel #KansaiFreeTravel #ItinerarySharing #NaraDeer #100TravelWays
