Just sitting here quietly and taking in the view feels really relaxing. They even offer free hot tea and rice crackers for visitors to enjoy.

Isuien Garden
A nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty featuring a strolling pond garden. Despite its location on the north side of Nara Park, between Todai-ji Temple and Kofuku-ji Temple, Isuien Garden is a tranquil Japanese garden secluded from its surroundings. It consists of two sections: the Front Garden, created in the early Edo period, and the Back Garden, developed during the Meiji period. Together, they offer a glimpse into the aesthetics of two different eras.
I really liked the design of Isuien Garden. Each section of the path offers a different perspective, and as you walk, you see the pond, waterfall, tea house, and distant mountain scenery all connected together. It didn't feel crowded at all, so I could quietly enjoy how nature and the garden blend together.

Deai Bridge
Deai Bridge is a 107-meter-long suspension bridge that leads to the Shirakawa-go gassho-zukuri village, a registered World Heritage site. The bridge connects the convenient public parking area, 'Village-Operated Sesaragi Park Parking Lot', to the village, and crossing the bridge brings you to the entrance of the village.
It feels like walking into a fairy tale. It’s a tiny village, and all the houses are so cute.
The steep, tall gassho-style roofs are really distinctive. Seeing it for the first time, I couldn’t stop taking photos. -
