Winter of February 2015 when I finally saw Nara, Japan. I didn't imagine there's a place so serene and civilized until I've visited Nara Prefecture. Did you know that it is the 1st permanent capital that was established in the year of 710? Whoa, right? I guess this is the reason why you'll really feel how their culture has evolved and has been kept. But personally, aside from the Big Buddha in one of the temples, I adore those deer that were roaming around tourist spots.
What to see here:
- Todaiji Temple - huge temple where you'll see the Big Buddha
- Omizutori - ceremonies of Buddhists that include water and fire
- Horyuji Temple - the world's oldest wooden architecture
- Isuien Garden - amazing and vast garden near Todaiji
- Wakakusa Yamayaki - annual festival where the whole mountain is set to fire
- Nara Park - large green park that has deer roaming around
- Kasuga Taisha - peaceful and grand shinto shrine
- Toshodaiji Temple - huge temple in Nara
- Yakushiji Temple - wonderful temple in Nara
- Shin-Yakushiji Temple - life size statues of 12 guardian deities
- Heijo Palace / Nara Imperial Palace - old imperial palace of Nara
- Kofukuji Temple - family temple of the Fujiwara Clan
- Other tourist-y things to see here
If you're planning to visit Japan, make sure to add Nara on your list. It's one-of-a-kind and being a Filipino, we don't usually get to see deer roaming around a park. If it was in Manila or other parts of the Philippines, they might be gone or use for commercial purposes. You know what I mean right? Kung sa Pinas ito, wala na yang mga usa, binenta na yan at hindi naalagaan ng maayos.

Bag - Myeongdong
Floral headpiece - Chatuchak
