Even more impressive in person than in photos. Really memorable.

Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse
This red brick warehouse was a world-renowned state-of-the-art Japanese warehouse from the Meiji era into the Taisho era. Presently, its appearance has been maintained, and the 2-building warehouse contains shops, restaurants, and a multipurpose hall, making it a culture and shopping spot.
The architecture feels very European—doesn’t really look Japanese.

Todaiji Temple
The Great Buddha Vairocana was commissioned by Emperor Shomu during the Nara period and consecrated in 752. The temple complex took nearly 40 more years to complete, making Todaiji one of Nara's most prominent temples. It continued to prosper under generous protection even after the capital was moved from Heijo-kyo.
The building’s colors feel calm and grounded, and it’s easy to appreciate the more you look at it.

Nara Park
Nara Park is a scenic area surrounded by historical and cultural treasures, including Kasuga Taisha Shrine, Kohfukuji Temple, Todaiji Temple, the Nara National Museum, and Shoso-in. Visitors can enjoy the breathtaking natural beauty of its expansive greenery while exploring these iconic landmarks. The park is located in the center of the city, making it easily accessible to various tourist spots.
If you feed the deer crackers, you’ll get surrounded—it’s kind of scary but also hilarious. Some of the deer are really gentle, and some have a ton of attitude. If you’re not paying attention, they’ll start nibbling on your clothes.
