About Nara
Nara is one of the most historically important cities in Japan, located about 35 kilometers east of Osaka or south of Kyoto. It was the location of the capital of Japan in ancient times, 710-784A.D. Many important designated Cultural Assets and National Treasures can be found there, as well as temples, shrines, statues, carvings and paintings. In Nara Park, nature and history are beautifully preserved as they are, which include Todai-ji Temple, Koufuku-ji Temple, and Kasuga Grand Shrine. Nara park is also famous for its hundreds of tame deer that roam freely.
