Tirolian rolled cookies come in so many flavors that you'll want to try every one! The crispy cookie shell pairs well with the smooth filling, and they're moderately sweet without being cloying. The individual packaging is also very convenient, making them perfect as a snack to carry in your bag or to share with friends and family. Chidoriya is a long-established Japanese confectionery founded during the Edo period. It has created a variety of popular sweets over the years while preserving its traditional confectionery-making spirit, and Tirolian is one of the brand's signature products.

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.
奈良公園裡的鹿群實在太萌了！才剛走進公園，就能看到一隻隻梅花鹿悠閒地散步、席地休息，甚至大搖大擺地穿梭在人群之間，完全不怕生。日本有個流傳已久的傳說，鹿是神明派駐在人間的使者，尤其在奈良，鹿更被視為神聖的存在，因此一直受到人們的尊重與保護。
來到這裡當然不能錯過餵鹿。公園周邊到處都有小販販售「鹿仙貝」，這是專門給鹿吃的仙貝，主要由米糠、小麥粉等穀物製成，幾乎沒有什麼味道。可是對鹿兒來說，這可是超級美食！只要手上拿著仙貝，馬上就會有幾隻鹿靠過來，甚至一轉眼就被包圍。
餵食時千萬不要追著鹿跑，要保持冷靜，一片一片慢慢餵。吃完後記得把雙手攤開，讓牠們知道「沒有了」。仙貝最好舉高一點，不然鹿兒一興奮，口水很容易沾得滿手都是，衣服也難逃一劫，甚至可能被牠們輕咬幾口，真的又可愛又狼狽！最有趣的就是鹿兒會鞠躬，向牠們敬禮牠們也會回應你喔〜
不過畢竟動物還是有野性，有小朋友同行的話，記得不要讓小朋友太靠近避免受傷，才能玩得開心又安心。

Naramachi
An old city area of Nara is a rare sightseeing place in Japan like Kyoto and Kanazawa. The old townhouses located in the area centering on the ancient precinct of Gangoji Temple remained as they were when they were built between the Edo and Meiji periods, which makes you feel a retro atmosphere while walking.
Naramachi is one of Japan's few well-preserved historic districts. It has a long history and was once a thriving commercial and residential community around the temples. Walking through Naramachi, you can really feel the traditional Japanese atmosphere. Many old machiya townhouses remain along the streets, and their long, narrow layouts reflect how people lived in the past.
I recommend visiting Naramachi Koshi-no-Ie while you're here. This building preserves the features of a traditional machiya, and spaces such as the lattice entrance, courtyard, and wooden corridors offer a glimpse into life in a Japanese home in the past. The interior is simple and elegant, with sunlight streaming through the lattice windows. Together with the wooden structure and garden views, it creates a quiet, nostalgic atmosphere. It's a great place both for appreciating traditional architecture and taking Instagram-worthy photos〜

Nara City Higashimuki Shopping Street
Higashimuki Shopping Street is located right in front of the east entrance of Kintetsu Nara Station. It has an arcade that runs north-south from Omiya Street to Sanjo Street. Kofukuji Temple is to the east, and private houses were built on the west side of the street.
Walking into Higashimuki Shopping Street lets you experience a different side of everyday life in Nara. Compared with areas crowded with tourists, it has a more down-to-earth, welcoming atmosphere. During our visit, we happened upon a summer nagashi somen festival. Many local residents had gathered and were happily participating, creating a lively atmosphere. Since we came across such an interesting event, we immediately joined in and had a lot of fun.
The most precious thing is that traditional culture can continue to be passed down because a group of people remains dedicated to preserving it.
