Nara's Timeless Treasures: A Lifetime Visit

Nara served as Japan’s first permanent capital from 710 to 784, a period that shaped the country’s Buddhist foundations and political structure. This collection highlights the city's UNESCO World Heritage sites, including Todai-ji’s Great Buddha Hall and the sprawling Heijo Palace ruins. The list also features the historic Nara Park, home to over 1,000 free-roaming sacred deer, and the ancient temples of Yakushi-ji and Toshodai-ji, which showcase architectural styles and religious art from the 8th century.
