Nara Park Situated at the base of Mount Wakakusa in Nara, this park is a must-visit destination featuring iconic sights such as Tōdai-ji Temple and Kasuga Taisha.

Nearby Mount Wakakusa provides a stunning overlook of Nara and hosts the annual "mountain burning" ceremony in January. Tōdai-ji Temple (Entry fee not included) Founded in 752, Tōdai-ji is a historic temple that houses the Great Buddha (Vairocana) inside the world’s largest wooden building. Though rebuilt in the 17th century after fires, it remains an impressive symbol of Japanese Buddhist heritage. Additional structures on the grounds include the Nandaimon Gate and Nigatsu-dō Hall. Admission: Main Hall – Adults 600 yen, Children 300 yen; Main Hall + Museum – Adults 1,000 yen, Children 400 yen.
