2024 Nara Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)
Nara is an ancient city, even older than Kyoto. After the Japanese royal family moved to Kyoto, it gradually became a quiet little town. The ancient town within the city has perfectly preserved characteristics of the Edo period, while Todai-ji Temple, Kofuku-ji Temple and Toshodaiji Temple still exude a strong traditional feel. World Heritage Site Kasuga-taisha, or Grand Shrine, is a great place to experience the lantern and “monkey” festivals in the Spring. Elegant sika deer roam freely through Nara Park, making it a perfect place to get closer to the native majestic wildlife. A hike up Wakayama Mountain offers a spectacular panoramic view of this ancient city. Nara may not draw the same crowds as other cities, but its unique historical heritage and tranquil atmosphere make it an attractive destination.

Nara’s Sacred Sanctuary ⛩️🦌
#goingplaces
Kasuga Taisha Shrine in Nara is one of the most important Shinto shrines in Japan, known for its stunning architecture and tranquil setting within the lush forest of Nara Park. The shrine is dedicated to the Kasuga kami (deities), which are associated with the Fujiwara clan, one of the most powerful families in Japanese history.
The shrine is located near Nara Park and is a short walk from Kintetsu Nara Station or Nara Station.
‼️Don’t forget to look out for the deer that roam freely around the shrine grounds, as they are considered sacred messengers of the gods in the Shinto tradition.

Get Up Close with Deer! A Relaxing Trip to Nara Park.
The park is filled with deer that are not afraid of people and will even come up to you for food. Just hold some deer crackers, and they'll come right over. Interacting with the deer is truly therapeutic, but be careful as they can sometimes be a bit pushy and bump into people.
Although the scenery here is beautiful, whether it's cherry blossom season or autumn leaves season, it can get quite crowded, especially on holidays.
Also, watch out for deer droppings on the ground to avoid stepping on them!
Overall, Nara Park is definitely worth a visit to experience the joy of being with the deer!
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Family Fun at Nara Park, Japan! 🦌🌿
#familytime
We had an amazing day at Nara Park with the family! The deer here are so friendly (and hungry 😅), and we loved feeding them with special deer crackers 🦌🍘
Tips for visiting:
▪️Bring Deer Crackers: You can buy them on-site for 200 yen, and the deer will love you for it! But be cautious—they can get a bit eager.
▪️No Littering: Be sure not to drop any trash—deer sometimes mistake it for food, and it can harm them! 🚮
▪️No Human Food for Deer: Stick to feeding them the official crackers. Other food can upset their stomachs.
▪️Do Not Hit or Chase the Deer: The deer are friendly but can become aggressive if mistreated. Respect their space and be gentle.
‼️The Deer Are Wild Animals: While they are generally friendly, they can bite, butt, kick, or knock you down if they feel threatened or overexcited.

Just returned from a day trip to Nara with a nanny-level itinerary and minefield guide
🙆♂️I just came back from Nara recently
I've organized all the strategies and minefield guides
✅For your reference for a day trip
▶️The 4 must-visit places in Nara are basically connected, Nara Park (Royal Deer Garden), Todai-ji (world-class wooden architecture), Wakakusa-yama (overlooking the entire city of Nara, and there are more deer and fewer people, highly recommended), and Kasuga-taisha (world-class garden landscape)
·
✅Suggested itinerary
Nara Park->Kasuga-taisha->Todai-ji->Wakakusa-yama
Although this route involves a bit of backtracking, it allows you to save the best sunset time for Wakakusa-yama, trust me, it's really, really worth it! (For strategies on Wakakusa-yama, see my previous note)
·
🚗Transportation
From Osaka to Nara, take the train and get off at Kintetsu Nara Station
If possible, be sure to choose the express line! Because the express line is at least 40 minutes faster than the regular line
·
🌸Specific time schedule
▶️9:30 Depart from Osaka
.
▶️10:10 Arrive at Kintetsu Nara Station
Exit 2, right out to the shopping street, where you can buy a sandwich for breakfast

.
▶️11:10 Go to Gango-ji
Free admission, one of Nara's national treasures and World Heritage Sites, and one of the few five-story pagodas preserved to this day
.
▶️12:00 Go to Nara Park
There are too many people here, and the deer are all well-fed and mostly lying down, so I personally suggest solving lunch here
.
▶️14:00 Kasuga-taisha
From here, it starts to be very, very photogenic, with lush greenery filling your eyes, and many little deer shuttle through the stone monuments, mysterious and cute! If you have deer crackers in your hand, they will carefully come to your side, and at that time you can take a selfie with them, super cute haha
.
▶️15:00 Todai-ji
World-class wooden architecture! Those who like architecture really shouldn't miss it, as you will be amazed by the Great Buddha as soon as you enter the gate

Few people and quiet! The deer are very lively! And you can also overlook the entire Nara from the mountaintop! Trust me, you can skip anywhere else, but you must go here! Just go for it with your eyes closed! Especially when the sun sets, the warm sunlight falls on the endless lawn, with a few deer around you, as if you've stepped into the animated world of Makoto Shinkai! So, so, so beautiful❗️Remember to enter from the South Gate! Entering from the North Gate will take an extra half hour!❗️

Feed Japan‘s Famous Deer
The Nara Deer Park is a historical park in Japan that’s famous for having hundreds of friendly deer you can feed and take pictures with. The semi-wild deer roam around the park freely and interacting with them can be lots of fun.But be careful of being chased by deer and stay away from deer with antlers. Being gored will be very painful.

Nara Deer Park is fun for kids! 🦌
#fallishere
If you are in Osaka you might as well visit Nara Park where you can just relax and chill in the park. No entrance fee. Free to roam around and enjoy the company of cute deers.
This part of the trip was so exhilarating. It's simply stunning. The whole experience was amazing.
The open fields, the shrines, the deer, everything was beautiful. Recommended to explore the park further and enjoy the nature.
Be prepared to walk at least 20k steps and wear comfortable shoes.
Feeding the deer in Nara
Nara Park is one of the must-see areas in Nara City. It is a nice place to see hundreds of deer roaming freely.
Feeding the deer is one of the highlights when visiting the park. Some deer are aggresive tho, they will be chasing you if they smell the crackers, which you can buy around the park for 200 yen.
When you bow your head to the deer, they bow back to
you.
Getting there:
From Kyoto, take the JR Nara Line from Kyoto Station to JR Nara Station. Miyakoji rapid trains depart every 30 minutes, and the trip takes about 45 minutes one-way. It is covered by the JR Pass. Local trains are also available, but take an hour and fifteen minutes one-way.

Deers in the City
#freehotelstay
Nara Park is a gorgeous place to visit that is walking distance from the busy main station where there are many restaurants and a famous walking street. Entry is free and you are free to roam around the grounds or purchase some food for the deers. Money collected goes towards the caretaking of them. The deers are free roaming who seemed to be always hungry. Feeding the deers was such a fun activity. Once they see the biscuit in your hands, they will charge towards you. The deers can get quite aggressive so we put our child in her stroller as she was scared. Becareful if you have young kids with you. Also, do keep food and plastics away from them. We had a deer digging into our stroller basket as we had some leftover bread exposed. That shocked my little one and us. However the coolest thing about the deers are that if you bow to them, they will bow back to you!
Besides the deers, Nara Park is filled with lots of culture and history with shrines and a huge pagoda right in the park. The area was tranquil and beautiful. Unfortunately we did not have much time to wander around longer. Nara Park is a absolute must visit as no other place has such a unique charm just right in the busyness of the town.
Explore Nara Park with Kids! 😍
We recently visited Nara Park, and let me tell you, it's a child-friendly and stroller-friendly haven that's perfect for families. This enchanting park in Japan offers a delightful blend of nature and culture, making it an ideal destination for parents and kids alike.
Nara Park is a great destination for families with little ones. The spacious pathways and well-maintained trails make it a breeze to navigate with a stroller. No need to worry about bumpy rides here!
What you can do with kids >
1. Feeding the Deers: 🍪 One of the highlights of Nara Park is the friendly deer population. Kids will absolutely love feeding them shika senbei (deer crackers). It's a magical experience watching their faces light up as they interact with these gentle creatures.
2. Exploring the Nara National Museum: 🏛️ The Nara National Museum, located within the park, is not your typical museum. It's filled with captivating artifacts and exhibits that can engage young minds and ignite their curiosity about history and art.
3. Isui-en Garden Adventure: 🌸 Adjacent to Nara Park, Isui-en Garden offers a tranquil escape into nature. The serene pond, meandering paths, and seasonal blooms provide a perfect backdrop for a family outing and some quality time in the great outdoors.
What can I say? Nara Park is a paradise for families. With its child-friendly and stroller-friendly paths, and many exciting activities, it's a place where parents (and non-parents!) can create lasting memories with their little ones. Based on my visit, I recommend packing your bags and bringing your family to Nara Park for a day of adventure and fun! You can also go solo! 😉🌟🌳

Nara eats - try a store with preserved sushi
If you do not mind raw food, love Japanese food, sushi would be an item that you will try.
at nara, they have this special item where sushi is wrapped in leaves and can be kept for a day. This had a interesting taste and one should not miss this as i did not see it in other areas in Japan.
A box has got different choices of sushi inside so one can try out the unique flavours and taste. It is good to share as it may be filling.
Enjoy and keep a lookout for these sushi at nara
Fried donuts so tasty, i had 2 rounds
If you have not tried fried donuts before, this is a store with branches all over Japan that you would have to search for.
Got one to try to begin with and really loved how it is crunchy and yet, has a chewy texture, hence went for a second.
Did not regret and will be back as they have a big variety and cute ones to cheer little ones up.

Exploring Nara With Adorable Deers - Nara Park
Nara Park is an absolute gem! The adorable and friendly deer roaming freely gives the place a unique charm. Feeding them is a delightful experience. The cute deers were the most polite wildlife we've ever encountered, so it's a given that we should be polite too when visiting their home.
The park's surroundings boast incredible temples like Todaiji, with its awe-inspiring Great Buddha statue. There's also Kokufu-ji, Kasuga Taisha, and other interesting sites surrounding the deer park.
Exploring the park and these historic temples is a perfect way to immerse yourself in Nara's rich history and natural beauty. It's a must-visit for anyone traveling to Japan! 🦌🏯

Nara Park
#wecreate
Nara Park is a large park in Central Nara. There are more than hundreds of deer roaming freely around in the park. Deer crackers are for sale at Yen 200 for a pack of 10. Some deers will bow to you after you fed them. Most of them are tame, but can be aggressive if they are hungry. So don't make fun of them when feeding.
To get there, alight at Kintetsu Nara Station or JR Nara station and take a bus there if you don't want to walk to the park. Admission to the park is free.
#mytripvlog #tripblazers
The worlds biggest Bronze Buddha statue
The Todai-ji temple near Nara park contains the worlds biggest bronze Buddha statue in an enormous wooden temple built over 300 years ago.
The temple is set in grounds surrounded by deer that move around from the Nara park, with smaller temples and shrines dotted around the grounds.
The Buddha itself is within a museum and you need to lay about $5 to enter, but it’s totally worth it. It’s absolutely mind blowing, the sheer scale of the Buddha and the structure built to house it is hard to comprehend.
There are many smaller shrines inside and some interesting wooden models that shows the construction history.
If you’re feeling brave and small there is a famous hole the size of the Buddhas nostril for you to try and crawl through
The temple closes around 5 and they do last entry at 4:30 so try and come as early as possible to avoid disappointment!

Oh deer! Thousands of deer at Nara Park 🦌
Nara park is world famous for the Nara deer that roam around the grounds, around 1500 at the last count. These deer have been protected for at least 1000 years and have become an inseparable part of the city, you will see there image everywhere.
You can reach the park from Nara station on bus routes, about 4 stops from the station, taxis or direct on trains from Osaka, Kobe & Kyoto.
The deer are very docile and friendly, If you are calm and considerate you can get close enough for photos and to touch them.
The local shops sell food tor about $1.5 for you to feed them. But be careful, the deers can get very excited about the food and ground around you very quickly!
It’s easier to find one or two deers on their own and feed them, feeding the large crowds can become very overwhelming!
It’s a great trip for the whole family, and then there is plenty to do in the town before you go home - lots of food options and walking streets for souvenirs.

Nara Deer Park Review
The Nara Deers are cute and all but they get really feisty when you have food!
Remember to ONLY feed the Nara Deers with food bought from the park! One pack of biscuits (10 inside) is 200 yen! You can get the food from any white standing wheel carts pushed by oba-chans (aunties).
I’ve been chased non-stop by the deers once I bought my food. It was extremely horrifying.
Here’s a tip! Get your camera ready once you find a deer to bow at! Because they will only bow at you twice or thrice max before they get bored of you!

Todaiji temple
During my one day trip to Nara, I also visited the todaiji temple here. An entrance fee is required.
The temple looks pretty and the structure was nice in terms of architecture. I went in to the temple and there were also shops selling charms which you can buy as souvenirs. There is also this pillar with a hole where there is a saying that if you can get pass it, you will have good luck and health. Interesting.
Overall enjoyed my visit here and went around taking some nice pictures.
Nara
If you are in Osaka or Kyoto, will suggest taking a one day trip to Nara. It’s a pretty nice place to have a day trip and you can visit some temples while you are here and also take a look at these cute deers roaming all around the streets. The floor is quite dirty though so be careful when walking all around.
You can purchase food to feed these deers and they will bow to you which is quite cute. The scenery here is also quite pretty and beautiful. Suggest coming here for one day to just explore all around and have fun!
Deers Everywhere At Nara Park 🦌
#wecreate
Nara park is such an interesting park in central Nara, Japan. Nara park is a large park and it is not just full of visitors from around the world at this park, but it is also full of deers. These deers are free to roam around in the park and they are surprisingly tame and not aggressive. People are allowed to touch and pet these cute animals and they are allowed to feed the deers too. Deer feed can be purchased from street stalls but do be very careful of the deer feed, as a whole hoard of deers would rush to you for the food and it will be gone in seconds. Nara park itself is very beautiful and it's even more special with these deers. It's a fun and unique experience at Nara park, so do visit it.
