Nara’s Sacred Sanctuary ⛩️🦌

#goingplaces

Kasuga Taisha Shrine in Nara is one of the most important Shinto shrines in Japan, known for its stunning architecture and tranquil setting within the lush forest of Nara Park. The shrine is dedicated to the Kasuga kami (deities), which are associated with the Fujiwara clan, one of the most powerful families in Japanese history.

The shrine is located near Nara Park and is a short walk from Kintetsu Nara Station or Nara Station.

‼️Don’t forget to look out for the deer that roam freely around the shrine grounds, as they are considered sacred messengers of the gods in the Shinto tradition.
