苏河家园:“When traveling to Japan, you will come to Nara Park, which covers a vast area and combines historical sites with natural landscapes. There are free-living sika deer and world heritage sites such as Todaiji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine. Tourists can feed the deer with senbei at close range and experience unique interaction. It is worth a visit.”
1180957907:“The cherry blossoms at Yoshinoyama are the most famous in Japan, and are divided into the Lower Senbon, the Middle Senbon, the Upper Senbon, and the Oku Senbon. Ichimoku Senbon means: you can see a thousand cherry trees at a glance. Emperor Go-Daigo once established Japan's Southern Dynasty at Yoshinoyama, and there are many places of interest!”
M23***12:“We had a flexible schedule, entering the park at 9:00 AM. We were thrilled to have won a Nintendo entry ticket. During the visit, my child suddenly felt unwell and took a break to find the emergency center. The staff was very helpful and offered advice (the emergency center didn't have any medication, so we had to buy it ourselves). They also arranged for the child to rest. While there were some minor hiccups throughout the day, overall, the experience was incredibly enjoyable. Aside from the heat and the long lines, Nintendo was a perfect match. I'll definitely go again.”
晓舟工作室:“Going to Nara, if you don't go to Dongdaeji, it's a pity. Because you will miss the hall of the world's largest wooden structure, you will also miss the great opportunity to feel the charm of Tang Feng, and it is even more difficult to experience the joy of Liang Sicheng and other Chinese architectural masters who found Wutaishan Foguang Temple!”
风起鹰鲨:“Near the highest point of Nara Park, it takes more than 20 minutes to walk after getting off the bus. There are many lights and deer along the way. Pay attention to the business hours. If you go too late, you can't get in. If you have been to Kasuga Taisha, you can go to Wakakusa Mountain to watch the sunset. You must arrive before 17:00, otherwise the ticket seller will lock the door after get off work and you can only go out but not in.”
Suranee:“So much visitor on summer, transportation management very failed. Waste the time to walking to station. Hot weather anyway all are interesting.”
AlexisMazini:“I used to live close by, I was running 25k daily, perfect spot for running and having a chill day. There will be a lot of walking if you go by yourself, bring comfortable shoes and tons of water when summer.”
Open tomorrow at 09:00-18:00 (admission ends at 17:30)
逛东逛西的银溪:“It's about a 1.2-kilometer walk from two subway stations.
Through the lush greenery of Osaka Castle Park, you'll find the whitewashed, green-tiled castle tower. This five-story Japanese castle has eight floors for visitors, making it compact yet fully functional. My favorite is the holographic display on the seventh floor, which vividly depicts the life of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The view from the top observation deck is average. It's recommended to purchase e-tickets in advance (saving at least a half-hour in line) and take the stairs (elevator waits are longer). While some areas are windowless, the exquisite architecture and historical atmosphere are still worth a visit.
Adults under 15 are free. Adult tickets were purchased through Ctrip and were very reasonably priced.
We spent over three hours exploring almost all the exhibits and videos.”
