Nara Park, in the heart of Japan’s first permanent capital of Nara, is home to some of Japan’s oldest and most sacred temples and shrines. Stop here to explore its vast green expanse, natural beauty and historic treasures, including one of Nara’s most celebrated Shinto shrines, Kasuga Taisha. Renowned for its thousands of bronze and stone lanterns in the vicinity, you’ll need to time your visit if you want to see them lit – they’re only ignited twice a year (lantern festivals in early February & mid- August)! ⛩️🌲
