Itinerary
1
Nara Park
Nara Park is one of Japan’s most charming and unforgettable spots—especially for animal lovers.
Here, you can stroll through wide, peaceful parklands while getting up close with the friendly, free-roaming deer that have become the symbol of Nara. These sacred animals are incredibly gentle and used to people, and one of the highlights is feeding them special “shika senbei” (deer crackers), which you can buy on-site. Some deer will even bow to you before receiving a treat!

Nigatsu-do Temple
discover one of Nara’s hidden gems—Nigatsu-do Hall.
This beautiful wooden hall is perched on the hillside, offering a panoramic view over Nara city and the surrounding mountains. It's especially breathtaking at sunset, when the warm glow bathes the rooftops and forests in golden light.
Nigatsu-do has a quiet, spiritual atmosphere that contrasts with the more crowded areas below. It’s a perfect place to pause, reflect, and enjoy a moment of stillness. The wooden veranda that wraps around the hall is open to all and provides one of the best viewpoints in Nara.

Dotombori

This is the perfect place to try local favorites like takoyaki (octopus balls), okonomiyaki (savory pancakes), or freshly grilled crab from street stalls and specialty shops.
