The journey begins in Arashiyama in the early morning, where the air is fresh and there are fewer people. Standing on the ferry bridge, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the changing seasons: cherry blossoms in spring, green mountains in summer, gorgeous red leaves in autumn, and dreamy snow scenes in winter. Each season is like a picture scroll. Don’t forget to take photos of the houseboats floating on the river and the adorable Arashi train that fits perfectly into this beautiful town!

Here, you can interact closely with the cute Nara deer! Part of Nara Park is located within the grounds of Kasuga Taisha Shrine, which was founded in 768 AD, and Nara's deer have been protected and coexist harmoniously with humans for the past 1,300 years. Because Nara deer are a historical symbol of the coexistence of humans and wild animals, they are designated as a national natural monument. You can try feeding the deer their favorite deer senbei and experience the fun of interacting with these gentle and cute creatures! Of course, taking photos with Nara deer is also one of the most representative memories of the trip. In addition, Nara also has famous attractions such as the Great Buddha of Todaiji Temple, Kasuga Taisha Shrine, and Kofuku-ji Temple. Visiting these historical sites is also very fun.
