Nara Prefecture's Absolute Essentials

Nara Prefecture preserves the origins of Japanese civilization, featuring UNESCO World Heritage sites like Todai-ji, home to the world's largest bronze Buddha statue, and Horyu-ji, which contains some of the world’s oldest surviving wooden structures. The region encompasses the former imperial capital at Heijō Palace and the sprawling Nara Park, where over 1,000 wild sika deer roam freely. Beyond the city, Mount Yoshino offers a landscape of thousands of cherry trees and sacred Shinto and Buddhist sites, including the Kinpusen-ji temple and Yoshimizu Shrine.
