TRAVEL GUIDE
Nara
Ancient Buddhist landmarks and the hills of Yoshino
See the temples and roaming deer around Nara Park, travel farther to Horyuji for early Buddhist architecture, or plan a different day in the hills of Yoshino. Central Nara is straightforward to explore on foot, while sites beyond the city need their own transport plan and seasonal checks.
