Nara, Japan

Ready to stroll through Japan’s ancient vibes? 🌸🦌 This Nara guide is all about tranquil parks, Insta-perfect temples, and those ultra-chill (and slightly mischievous) deer that rule the city!

Top Spots to Visit in Nara:
1. Nara Buddhist Sculpture Hall & Ritual Bronzes Gallery (50 Noboriojicho Nara National Museum, Nara 630-8213): Get lost among centuries-old Buddha statues and graceful ritual bronzes. A must for art/history buffs!
2. Nara National Museum (〒630-8213 奈良県奈良市登大路町５０): Dig deep into Japanese culture, but check the opening hours before you go (closed Mondays and some holidays, open 9:30-17:00/19:00 depending on the season).
3. Nara Park (Nara, Japan): Open ALL DAY, EVERY DAY! This sprawling park is where city chill meets historic scenery. Bring snacks—it’s picnic paradise.
4. Deer Park (160-1 Kasuganocho, Nara 630-8212): The friendly, free-roaming deer are Nara’s icons. You can buy “deer crackers” for under ¥200 and hand-feed them (they bow for snacks!). Open 10:00–16:00, closed on Mondays.

Practical Nara Hacks:
- Bring coins for deer snacks; they don’t take cards! 🦌
- Stash wet wipes (the deer get handsy).
- Walking is best—attractions are close, and the scenery rocks.
- Museum hours change often; double-check them on trip.com.
- Most signage has English, so exploring is pretty seamless.
- Cash is king in park stalls. ATMs are plentiful near the stations.

Top eats: Try local kakinoha sushi at vendors along the park or mochi at Nakatanidou.
