Taking a walk around the harbor in the afternoon or evening while enjoying the sea breeze is very pleasant. At sunset, the colors of the sky complement the harbor beautifully, and every casual photo looks like a postcard. The atmosphere is quite romantic.

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.
When feeding the deer crackers, remember to hold on to them securely, and keep an eye on the deer around you so you aren't startled by their sudden enthusiasm. I highly recommend setting aside half a day to walk around here. It's a spot near Osaka where both adults and children can have a great time!

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.
As one of the world's largest wooden structures, the Great Buddha Hall has a historic atmosphere, with its wooden pillars and Buddhist statues conveying a deep sense of history. Walking through it instantly makes you feel calm.

Hanamikoji-dori Street
Hanami-koji Street is a main street crossing Gion north to south from Sanjo to Kenninji Temple. It is “koji” (small alley), but the street is wide and lively with lots of stores hosting many tourists. The Teahouse district still maintains the traditional ambience in the district from Shijo-dori to the south. The original teahouses were on Shijo-dori and to the north of it, which were gathered to the current southern district in Meiji and Taisho Periods.
Walking along Kyoto's Hanamikoji-dori Street, you'll see well-preserved wooden machiya townhouses and reddish lattice windows on both sides. The stone-paved street is filled with the nostalgic atmosphere of the ancient capital, making it feel as though you've traveled back in time to old Japan.
