My Moments have been bombarded with questions, and this time it's for real—I'm abroad in Nara

🦌 A lovely day starts with a deer stroll~ 🌞 Nara, a small city, opens late and closes early (11 am-5 pm), but deer strolling is not time-limited. If you haven't teased the deer, you can't really say you've been to Nara. 🌞 World Heritage Sites are all within this area. Coming out from Kintetsu Nara Station, passing through the shopping street, you can check in at Kofuku-ji Temple, Sarusawa Pond, Nara National Museum, Kasuga Taisha, Nara Park, Todai-ji (Nigatsu-do, Sangatsu-do), and Wakakusa Hill in succession. 🌞🌞🌞Tips 🌞🌞🌞 🌸 There are about 1,700 cherry trees in the park, and it's highly recommended to see the surroundings of the pond-encircled Ukimi-do. 🦌 Deer are the masters of Nara~ Pedestrians and vehicles must give way. To get close to them, buy some deer senbei to feed them well. These clever creatures will know where you hide your cookies, and there's a risk of being chased/topped/bitten, haha~ ⛩ The stone lantern path in front of Kasuga Taisha has a mysterious aura, and the deer photographed here look like forest spirits. The metal lanterns and the main orange color of the buildings inside the shrine create a high-class and divine atmosphere. Meoto Daikokusha is the only shrine in Japan that enshrines the deities of marriage, the Meoto Daikoku. ⛩ The Great Buddha Hall of Todai-ji is currently the world's largest wooden building, and the Nara Daibutsu it houses is also notable as the world's largest bronze statue, making people feel especially small and amazed. 🏯 From Nigatsu-do, you can have a distant view of the Buddha Hall and Nara city area, and the overlooking scenery is incredibly beautiful. Moreover, the path from the Great Buddha Hall to Nigatsu-do is super charming, a perfect representation of fresh and clean style. ⛰ Wakakusa Hill, located on the east side of Nara Park, is a small hill about 342 meters high, covered with grass. From the observatory on Wakakusa Hill, you can overlook the entire Nara and also see the beautiful view of cherry blossoms and the Great Buddha Hall.
