Do you wonder what to do in Nara? See this video and discover with us the best things to do in Nara, Japan. The most iconic place of Ancient Nara, which is located less than an hour from Tokyo and Osaka, is Todaiji Temple completed in 752. Its Great Buddha Hall is the largest wooden building in the world despite losing 1 third of its size during the last reconstruction in 1692. Inside you can find a 15 meter tall bronze statue of the Buddha Vairocana, which is the largest in Japan. For another unforgettable experience, feed the deers in adjacent Nara Park with “ shika senbei “ – special crackers for this lovely animal that are sold for around 200 yen.
In the center of Nara you can enjoy quiet time in Yoshikien Garden which consists of 3 unique gardens – a moss garden, a tea ceremony garden and a pond garden.
Do not miss Heijo Palace with its East Palace Garden filled with ponds, bridges and Sakura cherry blossom trees.
Are you looking for shops or cafés? Then Naramachi, the former merchant district, is the right place for you.
If you are in Nara on the forth Saturday of January, you will have an opportunity to take part in annual Wakakusa Yamayiaki festival when the grass on the hillside of Mount Wakakusayama is set on fire. This is preceded by a fireworks display.
