Ishibutai kofun is the most impressive of the ancient stone monuments and the only megalithic tomb where the earthen mound is gone and you can see and even allowed to enter the burial chamber, which once enshrined a coffin. Designated as a Special Historic Site, it is the country's largest flat-topped burial mound. The tomb are surrounded by thousands of cherry trees which I guest perfect for cherry blossoms viewing during spring season, but unfortunately, it was not the season during my visit. Ishibutai kofun is a short distance east of the Asuka rail station. Buses run every hour between the site and the square in front of the station. A very good experience to explore its ancient mysteries. #givethanks #givethanks

#0yentravelFebruary2025 [Horyu-ji Temple] 🕰️Business hours: 0800-1630 🏖️Atmosphere/facilities: ◯ 📍Address: 1-1, Horyuji-sanuchi, Ikaruga-cho, Ikoma-gun, Nara 636-0115 💰Price per person: 1500 and up 💞Reasons for recommendation: We visited Horyuji Temple in Nara 🤍 It is the oldest wooden building in the world and a temple with a wonderful history as a World Heritage Site‼ ︎ As you would expect from a World Heritage Site, it had a solemn atmosphere without any flashy decorations☺️ It does not have the currently popular Instagram-worthy elements, but is a temple where you can feel Prince Shotoku and history😁

📍Kasuga Taisha Shrine, Nara Prefecture Nara has such a long history that it is the basis for the Reiwa era name. There is also a flower called "Wisteria" that can be seen for only about a month at Kasuga Taisha Manyo Botanical Garden, the oldest Manyo Botanical Garden in Japan. The flower is "Wisteria flower". The season is from mid-April to mid-May. It overlaps with the cherry blossom season so it is easy to forget, but once you see it, you will never forget it. Please visit it once. ⚫︎Note Early morning is recommended. Before lunch, there is a long line to enter the garden and maintenance staff are dispatched. (Probably because many people have lunch after seeing the wisteria?) #Nara #NaraTourism #DomesticTravel #0YenTravelFebruary2025

Spring in Nara Prefecture offers a stunning landscape with a beautiful combination of flowers and ancient architecture. At the famous Nara Park, you can enjoy cherry blossom viewing while playing with deer. It's also recommended to take a short trip to see the cherry blossoms at Matabei's Cherry Tree and Toshodaiji Temple. Personally, I highly recommend Matabei's Cherry Tree. How about experiencing a shower of cherry blossoms under the giant weeping cherry tree? After enjoying the cherry blossoms, it would be nice to end the day by watching the sunset from the high ground of Todaiji Temple.☺️ A day trip from Kyoto is good, but since you're visiting an ancient city, I highly recommend staying overnight! Please enjoy the atmosphere that is different from Kyoto.🥰

It's so cute

#nara #japan #deer The deers are sooo cute You can buy deer biscuits at 200yen to feed them. They will bow at you to get the biscuits However, be careful as they will follow you and even bite you to ask for more

Nara, a prefecture bordering Osaka and Kyoto, flourished as the capital of Japan from the beginning of the Yamato Dynasty until the capital was moved in 784. In Nara, there is Todaiji Temple, famous for its Great Buddha, and Kasuga Shrine in Nara Park, in the center of the city. Many deer live in the park, making it a place of relaxation for the people. This ancient capital has many temples and shrines, some of which are registered as World Heritage Sites, such as Horyuji Temple, the world's oldest wooden temple. During the cherry blossom season, the mountains south of Nara are another famous cherry blossom viewing spot. That is Mount Yoshino. On top of the mountain, you can see thousands of cherry trees blooming beautifully. 🚈 How to travel from Osaka to Nara 1.

Wearing a kimono to feed the little deer Nara Raiders traffic

In addition to going to the temple to see the deer, there are cherry blossoms in the spring. Many places have cherry blossoms. Although it has already passed through the blooming period, there are some little cherry blossoms that bloom late in the evening. With the background of the temple, this is Japan. When you wander in Nara Park, you must not miss the matcha ice cream. When you pass by, many Japanese middle school students eat there, so they bought it when they returned. Try, the taste of tea is very strong and it is delicious. Tempura near the station, even if it is two o'clock in the afternoon, it took ten minutes to eat. Its hot.

Nara's search for deer Nara is a famous spiritual hometown of Japanese nationals. It has always been a tourist, and it is very lively. In addition to the world-famous Todai-ji Temple, the lovely deer and Kasuga Shrine are not to be missed. It takes only one hour from Kyoto or Osaka to reach JR Nara Station. Follow the crowd and you will come to Nara Spring Park. You will pass through some large and small temples on the way, and it is recommended to visit one day. There is a service for selling deer pancakes in the park, which is basically purchased by tourists. Some sly deer will steal the pancakes on the stalls when you buy pancakes, and follow you for a long time, very capricious! At this time, you need to hide the pancakes and show them empty hands to end. Then, look for other cute little deer to feed the photo. After feeding, the deer will thank you and come back. However, once the pancakes are finished, these little cutes will leave without mercy, very practical! is very recommended for the World Heritage Kasuga Taisha. After all, it is one of the three major shrines in Japan and the guardian shrine of Nara. The entrance to the Kasuga Taisha Shrine is relatively long, and it takes about ten minutes to walk. There is a restroom in the middle exit. The mother on the carelessly forgot the small bag in the bathroom. After ten minutes, I went back and found that it was still there. It can be seen that the law and order in Japan is very good and the quality of tourists is relatively high. In addition to the small deer on both sides of the road, there are stone lanterns covered with moss for lighting and exorcism. The annual Lantern Festival is also a major local festival, and there will be a lot of people there. The towering old trees in the Dashe and the countless lantern corridors are also the highlights of the shrine. The wishing horses here are all in the shape of a deer, very interesting! Recommend the cherry blossom set at the tea house at the entrance to the entrance. There are local famous persimmon sushi and seasonal cherry desserts. Many of the ingredients are said to be selected from the Wanye collection. The taste is not necessary, we can eat it!

Nara, Yoshino-gun, Yamagata Castle: The small town is light, cherry blossoms such as Xuefei Nara Prefecture is the birthplace of ancient Japanese civilization. Its history is longer than that of Kyoto, and it preserves the traditional culture and ancient architecture of Japan's Nara era. . When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, it is one of the most amazing cherry blossom spots in Japan. 1300 years ago, it was once the capital of ancient Japan. They imitated the appearance of Chang'an City, where they built the then capital of the country, Pingchengjing, and opened the famous "Nara era." Today's Hiraizumi is still in the western suburbs of Nara City, and today's Nara City still retains the leisurely appearance of farming civilization. For a time, I suddenly envied the people who live here. Listening to the small river in the house, pushing the window is a splendid flower sea, and the days of living in the painting must be very happy. [Traffic] To Nara Prefecture, Mie Prefecture is very convenient to take the express train. In addition to the KINTETSU RAIL PASS, you can purchase a special coupon.

Nara is about the capital of Japan during the birding period, and it is safe. A little older than Kyoto, the old town is situated on a slightly rolling hill. I lived in a backpacker's hotel with a hundred-year-old squatter house. The staggered alleys were narrow and quiet. I liked to walk through strange streets and see the earliest tiles that I had cooked in my own history. Two tall wooden towers, as well as the most beautiful wooden tower shooting location, such as the general scenery in the animation.

Nara, which is called "Dahe" in ancient times, is a more ancient capital than Kyoto. It is also the birthplace of the Japanese nation and is regarded by the Japanese as "the spiritual hometown." In a city of less than a million people, there are seven world cultural heritages and countless national treasures. In addition to those national treasures, Nara is also home to a group of elves: deer. Where is the Nada Deer in Dongda Temple? "See the deer when the tree is deep." Located in the east of Nara, Todai-ji Temple and Nara Park are the homes of the Nara deer. Here the old trees are towering, and everything is beautiful. Since the ninth century, Nara Park has had no difficulty in logging. As a result, the virgin forest was completely preserved, forming a rare green lung in the provincial center.

At the end of the spring, Guan Shan Ying also quietly began to rain. A few of the Guanshan Sakura on the side of the Float, ushered in a couple of new wedding photos. The day suddenly cooled down, the sky was floating with rain and rain, and it stopped raining. The photographer directs the newcomers to do various scenes. For a while, let the prospective groom pick up the transparent umbrella and walk towards the bride. For a while, let them hide in the umbrella and whisper. This pair of newcomers is estimated to be the talent of not being an actor, often laughing. At the moment, enjoy the last cherry blossom rain. Its another year, its another year. If you can stay, you will see it every year.

I have lived in Nara for 6 days. The psychological change is the scream of excitement when I first saw a deer in Nara Park. I can take a leisurely walk with the deer and get along with each other. The deer in Nara made me unforgettable for a lifetime. It was an early morning, I used to get up early to avoid the crowd. I was watching the last wind blows in the spring near the Nei Pond. Suddenly the sound of the deer sang in the sky suddenly shocked me. Looking back, hundreds of deer ran to the legs. To a grandfather, the grandfather was a leader, led a group of deer under a tree, opened the baggage, and began to feed. It turned out that he was a breeder and was responsible for the breakfast of the deer every day. The strong and strong adult deer can naturally eat the first bite, while the alert young deer will also take the opportunity to squeeze into the front row, everyone around to make a bunch, bow down and eat seriously. From my point of view, a row of deer buttocks is facing me, and even the pattern on the butt is a loving shape, especially cute. This week, I have also met a lot of deer, who are timid and arrogant. In short, each deer has a different personality. Deer sauce near Nara Park is the hardest to serve, and I feel very good. Perhaps because most travelers stop at Nara Park, they will buy enough deer scallops to coexist with the deer in the shortest possible time. Deer who dont want to eat naturally start to ignore people. Often you can see them squinting and sleeping, lazy, how can you entice them to eat deer Xianbei are indifferent. The deer of Todai-ji Temple is overbearing, and they are used to eating alone. As long as they smell the deer cake in my bag, they will chase all the way, biting my little bag. I have to work hard to get rid of it.

Nara is a quiet little town, not as bustling as many big cities. From 710 to 784, Nara Prefecture was once the capital of Japan and was called Pingcheng Jing. Although it was not a long time as a capital, most of the ancient buildings in Nara were preserved. It is rare and has eight world cultures. The heritage is second only to Kyoto in Japan. The area of Nara is very small. Most of the attractions are in Nara Park. In addition to these monuments, the most attractive ones are the more than a thousand sika deer in the park. They live in harmony with local residents and tourists. The deer is also a symbol of Nara.

Nara is located in the middle of Osaka and Kyoto, and its history is longer than Kyoto, the ancient capital of the millennium. Nara is the birthplace of ancient Japanese civilization. It imitated the layout of Chang'an in China 1300 years ago, and built the capital of the time, Pingchengjing. Later, the political center of Japan changed, and Nara was preserved as an important religious city. Nara has many ancient temple shrines and historical relics, and enjoys the title of "the capital of the temple". As the residence of the master of Jianzhen, Dongdu has a deep relationship with China. Today, Naras live sign is a group of small deer that are stocked in the city. They gather between Nara Park and the mountains and are friendly with people. It is the most attractive place in Nara. At the entrance of Dongda Temple, there is a small stream filled with maple leaves, which is the most beautiful scenery in Nara.
