Nara where sacred deer meet timeless history
Hello world. Welcome to hidden paradise in
Japan. I’m Mitz. Today I’m going to show you an ancient capital of Japan, Nara, where
there are several old lands and temples built in 8th century. You shouldn’t miss.
And there are also a lot of deer in those sites and also in the town. Let’s explore
this wonderful ancient capital of Japan. Napak deer a wild animals inhabited
the area for over 1,300 years. They have been regarded as messengers of kami or
god. Therefore they have been carefully protected. Today they can be seen regularly in
the area centered around nada park. Let’s go to the shrines and the temples. Kofukuji temple. Kofukuji used to be the family
temple of Fujiwara, the most powerful aristocratic clan during much of the Nar and Hanam periods.
This is the central garden hall. The main hall. This is the eastern garden hole and nedo hole. The most famous fivetoried pagod
cannot be seen. It’s under repair. Let’s go to Kasuga Taisher. This is one of the high-end
restaurants called Kikuo. I think Kasuga Tisher is this way. Hi dear. Go to Kasuga Tasher through Nada Park. They are relaxing. Kasuga Tisha. Kasuga Taiser is Nar’s most celebrated
shrine. It was established in the year of 768. Kasuga Tisha was also the tut shrine of the
Fujiwala clan. The main sanctuary contains multiple shrine buildings that display the
distinctive Kasuga style of shrine architecture. It’s prohibited to take a photo. Kasuga Taisher is
famous for its lanterns which have been donated by worshippers. Hundreds of bronze lanterns
can be found hanging from the building. The lanterns are only lit twice a
year during two lantern festivals. This building was originally used by
Shinto priest attending at the shrine. It now houses a display of bronze hanging lanterns that are lit to recreate the atmosphere
of Manduro, the annual lantern festival. In D, you should wear shoes
that are easy to walk in. Let’s go to Toaji through Nara Park. You can buy special crackers for deer. It’s made
from flour and rice brown. No sugar, no salt. You shouldn’t bring the crackouts we normally eat. Nada Park is so beautiful. Now we
can see toaji temple over there. Toaii temple. Here we are at Toaji temple. Toaji is one of Japan’s
most famous and historically significant temples and the landmark of Nara. The temple was constructed in the year of 752. Until recently, Toadaji’s main hall called Dutam held the record as the largest
uden building in the world. The massive building houses one of Japan’s largest bronze statues of Buddha
or Dauu called the great Buddha. Let’s go toward Nigato hold. The side approach to Nigato Hall is a quiet
and picturesque street not far from Duten Hall. Let’s go up. Nigat Hall is a short walk on
the hill east of Duten Hall and offers nice views of the city from its balcony. What an impressive staircase. Let’s go down those stairs. This large UN gate is Nandon Gate watched
over by two fierce looking statues. The statues are designated national
treasures with the gate itself. How did you like N? You’ll have a nice experiences in here. You shouldn’t miss N when
you visit Japan. Japan has a lot of good places. I’ll show you other ones in
the following videos. Goodbye for now.
