Nara city; old capital and traditional town in Japan

Nara is known as one of the tourist spots in Japan.
In fact, I'm from Nara.


Nara was the capital city of Japan about 1,300 years ago.
So, there are many cultural heritages, such as temple, ancient tomb, unearthed article.
The Big Budda in Toudaiji is amaging size (the just hand is bigger than us).



There are many deer all over the place in Nara Park.
Deer is so cute, and you can experience feeding.


Nara is often compared with Kyoto, which is also former capital city in Japan.
I had lived in both Nara and Kyoto, and in my imagination, Nara is more austere than Kyoto and provide more Japanese characteristic atmosphere.
I can recommend you that visit Nara, not only Kyoto, when you will come to Japan. Nara is easy to access by train, and not far from Kyoto, concretely speaking, about one hour by train.
