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
In the Nara period (710-794), Emperor Shomu had the Rushana Daibutsu (Great Buddha) built at his request, and a memorial service was held in 752. This temple is one of the representative temples of Nara. It took nearly 40 years to build the temple complex.
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.
