Exploring 📍Nara, Japan 🇯🇵

Nara, Japan was sooo much fun and tbh I didn’t expect it to have as many hidden gems as it does. Here are my highlights:

🍬MATCHA COTTON CANDY: I love matcha so I have to try the cotton candy and it was really yummy. Cotton candy is infamous for being messy and sticky on your fingers so just prepare for that before you dig in😋

🌳BAMBOO FOREST: This is a really cool park/forest with guided walkways. You can pay for a guided tour but I enjoyed walking through it on my own. The smallest bamboo trees are 20ft tall and it really feels like you’re walking through a mystical forest.

🍪FEEDING DEER IN NARA PARK: There are deer EVERYWHERE and they loveeee cookies. You can buy cookies from a nearby stand and feed the deer directly on the streets, but be careful, some of them will follow you around for those cookies.

🙏🏾TEMPLE VISIT: The oldest temple made of wood (slide 4) is free to walkthrough but you will have to pay to see the largest temple in Nara. Tickets are sold at the door.

Save this for your next trip to Japan

Nara, a city steeped in history and nature, is home to stunning sights and delightful experiences waiting to be explored. Begin your journey at the majestic Nara Park, where you can encounter friendly deer roaming freely. Remember to try the iconic deer crackers, believed to bring good fortune, as you interact with these adorable creatures. Another highlight is the impressive Todai-ji Temple, housing the Great Buddha, a must-see for any visitor. The temple’s intricate architecture and serene atmosphere provide a perfect backdrop for reflection and exploration. In addition, don't miss the beautiful Nara National Museum, which offers insights into the region's rich cultural heritage. For food lovers, Nara is a treasure trove of culinary delights. Besides the matcha cotton candy, be sure to sample traditional Nara delicacies such as kakinoha-zushi (persimmon leaf sushi) and narazuke (pickled vegetables). To make the most of your visit, consider scheduling a guided tour that provides valuable insights into the history and culture of Nara. With so much to see and do, Nara promises an unforgettable experience for every traveler!
