Thousands of Stone Lanterns in the Ancient Forest - Kasuga Taisha in Nara

The approach to Kasuga Taisha is lined with thousands of stone lanterns on both sides. The vermilion shrine shines even more vividly under the shade of the ancient forest.

If Kyoto has the Philosopher's Path, Nara has the pilgrimage path of Kasuga Taisha. As darkness falls, the charm of the lantern-lit shrine deepens. Take a stroll through Kasuga Taisha, the shrine of lanterns.
