— Important Info —

Take a leisurely stroll in Nara Park, a must-visit sacred place for traveling in Nara. Wakakusa Mountain adjacent to the park is a wonderful place to overlook the scenery of Nara. This is not only a place to relax your mind, but also a great starting point to get close to nature.

In this lush greenery, there gathers the most lively and lovely deer in Nara. They are adorable and leisurely, and are an indispensable part of the park.

Todaiji Temple, also known as the Great Kegon Temple, was carefully built by Emperor Shomu to worship the Great Buddha and serve as the head temple of Japanese temples. Its main Buddha Hall stands proudly in the world with its magnificent scale. It is known as the world's most magnificent wooden architectural treasure, demonstrating unparalleled craftsmanship and brilliance.

Kasuga Taisha Shrine, located in Nara Park, is listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site as part of the historical sites of ancient Nara and is one of the 22 shrines. There are towering cedar and birch trees in the native forest, Nara deer hiding in the forest, and more than 2,000 donated stone lanterns of various sizes. The shrine's regular festival day is March 13 (Kasuga Festival).

Come to Uji, the paradise of literature and art, and the last ten chapters of the literary masterpiece "The Tale of Genji", which is known as the Japanese Dream of Red Mansions, take place here. Anyone who has read "The Tale of Genji" wants to come here to trace the love, hatred and enmity of the Japanese aristocrats.

Uji is also a paradise for matcha lovers. The streets are filled with first-rate matcha ice cream and matcha cakes, and even the soba noodles are green matcha color.

As a model of the Heian period pond and boat-style garden, Byodo-in Temple was awarded the title of World Cultural Heritage in 1994. The most famous part of the temple is the Phoenix Hall, which has wings spread out, as if a phoenix is about to take off, which is spectacular.

The Tale of Genji Museum combines multimedia sound and light to present the essence and outline of the story with high-definition images, allowing you to intuitively interpret its charm. The Rokujo-in model in the museum brilliantly reproduces the glory of Genji and easily leads you through the cultural corridor of the dynasty.

Genji-no-yu, a natural hot spring unique to Uji, taps deep into the warmth of the earth, blends the essence of ancient and modern architecture, and creates a pure Japanese leisure paradise. It contains three inner and outer hot springs, just like being in a secret mountain place, where time is leisurely. There are also delicious foods to accompany you, so that your taste buds and body and mind can enjoy a healing journey together.
