Nara Day 2 late noon to Todaji temple and dinner

Day 2 in Nara was straight-up legendary! After a wild morning at Ikoma Amusement Park (the rides were sooo good—seriously, adrenaline overload!), we bounced back to Nara Kintetsu Station. If you love food, this spot is a whole mood. The nearby food street is *chef’s kiss*—packed with drool-worthy eats and cozy vibes. Every nook had something totally Insta-worthy, so you already know we couldn’t resist grabbing some snacks before heading out. Snack attack approved. 🍙🎉

Next stop: the iconic Tōdai-ji Temple (406-1 Zoshicho, Nara, 630-8587, Japan). This place is mind-blowing, with its *32-meter* Buddha statue that’ll leave you speechless IRL. If you want to visit, you’ve got plenty of time since Tōdai-ji is open from 7:30am–5:30pm (April–October) and 8:00am–5:00pm (November–March). The vibe kept switching up—sunny skies one minute, little rain showers the next. It’s all part of Nara’s quirky charm!

Right next to Tōdai-ji is the legendary Nara Park (Nara, Japan), open 24/7. Yep, you can hang with the famous deer literally whenever you’re in the mood. Feeding and petting the deer = total chaos but so cute! Snap those pics; it’s a must for your feed. 🦌🫶

When dinner time hit, things got extra tasty. Imagine chilling outside under the city’s epic architecture, chopsticks in hand, snagging juicy bites of meat while two steaming bowls of soup warm your soul. The view? Unbeatable. Pro tip: swing by the food street near Kintetsu Station for next-level local bites—Nara knows how to serve up a foodie paradise. 😋

Day 2 in Nara: temple magic, deer squad moments, and food street wins. This city always keeps it fresh!
