📍 Nara Park Oriole Falls Visit Review

*Oriole Falls (ウグイスの滝)*, located just a short walk inside Nara Park, was much quieter and more serene than I expected. 🌿 Perhaps because most tourists are concentrated in the deer area, there weren't many people here. The only sounds were the water and birdsong, making it feel like a temporary escape from the city. The water was clear and cold, refreshing to dip my hands in, and the moss-covered area around the falls evoked a sense of natural beauty.

The waterfall itself isn't large, but the surrounding lush forest and stone bridge create a uniquely Japanese atmosphere. 🍃 It was a particularly rainy day, so the water flow was just right, and the mist rising from the water made for great photo opportunities. The directions are well-marked on Google Maps, so you won't have to worry about getting lost. However, the rocks near the falls can be a bit slippery, so wearing sneakers is a must.

It's the perfect stop after exploring Todaiji Temple or the main area of ​​Nara Park. It's a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of deer viewing and enjoy a relaxing time in nature. ☺️
