“Exploring Nara, Japan 🦌 | Deer, Bicycles & The Great Buddha”

A visit to Nara offers a peaceful journey into Japan’s ancient heart, where history, nature, and spirituality come together. Just under an hour from Kyoto or Osaka, Nara is home to Nara Park, a vast green space where over 1,000 friendly, free-roaming deer bow to visitors in exchange for special crackers. Considered sacred messengers of the gods, these deer add a magical charm to the city.

At the heart of Nara lies Tōdai-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site housing the Great Buddha (Daibutsu)—one of the largest bronze statues in the world, seated within a massive wooden hall that dates back to the 8th century.

For those seeking a stay steeped in elegance and history, the Nara Hotel is a destination in itself. Opened in 1909, this classic hotel has hosted royalty and celebrities, and blends traditional Japanese design with refined Western touches.

Nara is also the birthplace of Japanese sake brewing, and visitors can sample locally crafted varieties made using centuries-old methods and pure spring water.

Whether it’s ancient temples, sacred deer, or timeless hospitality, Nara offers a serene and enriching escape into Japan’s cultural soul.
