#OctoberTravelGrant 📍 Nara Park Oriole Falls Review This quiet waterfall is just a short walk inside Nara Park. True to its name, the melody of birdsong and water created a truly peaceful atmosphere. 🍃 Unlike Todaiji Temple or Nara Park's deer area, it wasn't crowded, making it a perfect spot for a quick break. While the waterfall isn't large, the surrounding mossy rocks and trees created a tranquil atmosphere, reminiscent of a traditional Japanese garden. The water was particularly strong after the rain, and the mist created by the sunlight made for great photo opportunities. 📸 A nearby bench is also a great place to enjoy a snack or just relax while listening to the sound of the water. There were more locals strolling than tourists, allowing for a quiet and natural experience. ✔️ Tips: • About a 10-minute walk after seeing the deer at Nara Park • No admission fee / Photo opportunity available • The stream is even more beautiful after rain 🏞️ Address: Harunino-cho, Nara City, Nara Prefecture 🕓 Hours: Open year-round (no lighting at night)

#OctoberTravelSupport 📍 Mizunochaya (水谷茶屋) Review Walking along the forest path inside Nara Park, you'll find a teahouse nestled quietly among the trees. It's Mizunochaya. 🍵 The exterior, reminiscent of a traditional house, was beautiful, and surrounded by greenery, it was the perfect spot for a quick rest. The interior was also small and cozy, creating a truly tranquil atmosphere. The main dish, udon, was warm and flavorful, making it a great stop for a quick bite during a walk. While the menu isn't extensive, the food was clean and reasonably priced. 🥢 There's also outdoor seating, so you can enjoy your meal while feeling the breeze. If you're lucky, you might even spot a deer nearby. There weren't many tourists, so it felt natural to stop by alone, making it a great place to stop for a quick bite. If you're looking for a warm meal in a quiet atmosphere while exploring Nara Park, this is the place for you. 🌿 🏡 Address: Mizutani-cho, Harunino-machi, Nara City, Nara Prefecture 🕓 Hours: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM (shortened hours on rainy days)

#OctoberTravelSupport 📍 Nara Park Mizunochaya Review Walking along the inner path of Nara Park, you'll find a traditional teahouse quietly hidden among the trees. 🍵 The thatched roof and mossy stone steps create a truly Japanese movie-like atmosphere. Inside, the subtle scent of wood wafts through the air, and deer sometimes pass by the outdoor tables. 🦌 The space, nestled within nature, was the perfect place to relax. Udon is the main dish, so many people order the warm chicken udon or vegetable udon. I chose the clear, lightly seasoned broth, which was perfect for a post-walk snack. The portions were just right, and the food came out quickly. While the menu isn't extensive, it's enough for a quick meal or a cup of tea. More than anything, the atmosphere is stunning. Even within the park, the sounds of birdsong and the wind outweigh the sounds of people. 🍃 It's much quieter than the bustling city of Nara, and it's a place you wouldn't want to miss even for a quick stop. This teahouse is a perfect break from your travels. 🏠 Address: 30 Harunino-cho, Nara City, Nara Prefecture 🕓 Hours: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM 💴 Recommended Menus: Chicken Udon / Red Bean Porridge / Matcha

#OctoberTravelSupport 📍 Nara National Museum Review I visited the Nara National Museum, located inside Nara Park. It wasn't as large as I expected, but the exhibits were rich and the quiet atmosphere was great. Perhaps because most of the artifacts are Buddhist, the overall atmosphere was serene and sacred. 🕊️ Inside, a Meiji-era building and a modern new building are connected, and the unique atmosphere of the old building was quite charming. The museum focuses on Buddhist art, such as Buddhist statues and Buddhist paintings, and each piece was exquisitely detailed. The dim lighting made it easy to appreciate, and the lack of crowds allowed for a leisurely viewing. The explanations for the pieces were mainly in English and Japanese, so it was a bit difficult to understand. Still, the artwork itself had a strong presence, so it was impressive enough to simply look at. Nara Park is right next to the museum, so it was easy to plan a tour. A deer viewing → museum → Todaiji Temple tour was perfect. 🦌🎋 I think they occasionally host special exhibitions, but when I went, only the permanent exhibition was open. Overall, it's a quiet and well-organized space, making it a great place to take a break between temple visits in Nara. 🏛️ Address: 50 Todai-cho, Nara City, Nara Prefecture 🕓 Hours: 9:30–17:00 (Closed Mondays)
