🇯🇵 NARA day trip, and yes, NARA 🦌 bow!

If you have spare time when you visit Kyoto/Osaka, let's spend a few hours in Nara! The deers are just too cute 😍 and worth stopping by to say Hi! Here's my itinerary! Transportation from Osaka by JR, which is about 30 mins (45 minutes if you depart from Kyoto). Then we took a bus from JR station to Nara Park - home to over 1000 free-roaming sika deers! They are literally everywhere!!! (Tip: You can buy deers crackers to feed them, but be careful and choose single deer as they might snatch it from you) We also visit Todai-ji Temple, which is located inside the park. Todaiji is famous for the Great Buddha, which stands at 15m tall and weighs around 500 tons. (Tip: Squeeze through the small hole in one of the pillars. It's said that if you fit, you will have good luck and fortune!) There is also Nara National Museum within walking distance from Todaiji. Lunch: Koshin-ya (traditional Nara-style sushi or set meals) There are plenty of options in the area 😋 #japantrip #nara #japantravel #narajapan #naradeerpark #thingstodo
