Must-try Activities in Nara Prefecture

Nara is a popular tourist destination located in the north of Nara Prefecture, bordering Kyoto Prefecture. The city served as Japan's capital over 1,300 years ago, and as a result, is steeped in history. One of the city's main attractions is Nara Park, which is home to wild deer that visitors can interact with. Additionally, Horyuji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located in Nara and is over 14 centuries old. The temple is one of the oldest in Japan and boasts the world's oldest wooden building structure that still stands strong today.
Nara experiences a stark difference in climate due to its basin, highlands, and mountains. Summers are generally hot and humid, while winters are very cold. As a result, spring and autumn are the best seasons to explore the area. Nara is also known for its delicious Japanese cuisine, including sushi, soba, and unique pickles that visitors shouldn't miss.
