Exploring the culture of Nara's manhole covers 🦌

When it comes to visiting Kansai, many people immediately think of Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto and Bamboo Forest in Arashiyama. But to be honest, to have fun, you have to take a day out and start a day trip to Nara! Nara Park is the most classic must-see attraction, whether you want to get close to cute wild deer or want to take beautiful photos to show off your friends, Nara will not disappoint you. Moreover, Nara is only about an hour from Kyoto by JR or Kintetsu, very convenient, D transportation connections are excellent!

🎉 Trip highlights:
The best part of a day trip to Nara is that you can slowly stroll through the park in the early morning, feel the historical atmosphere, and have the opportunity to interact face-to-face with deer! And Nara Park is not just as simple as deer, along the way is antique architecture, choose a pair of beautiful shoes to match the scenery to match the mood, already very feel ~

🌳 Nara Park Attraction Recommendation:
1. Nara Park
- Address: Nara, Japan
- Opening hours: Open all day, year-round
- There are traces of history at every step inside Nara Park, with huge grasslands paired with a large herd of interspersed fawns that you can "photograph" with at any time. Remember, keep the "deer cake" in your hand, these "Nara little bullies" will take the initiative to come around when they see the food, some even know how to bow to ask for the cake, super cute but really be careful!
- Sunny day photography is super beautiful, well cover is not spared: around Nara Park there are some super stylish design manhole covers, deer and floral patterns, wearing white shoes and black shoes next to the well cover to take a "hipster flavor" photo photo, guaranteed to burst likes!

2. Kasuga Taisha Shrine
- The park near the Kasuga Taisha Shrine, built in the 8th century, has a healing view of red shrines and green trees, and you can also find lucky charms such as peace charms.

3. Todaiji Temple
- Nearby is the World Cultural Heritage-level "Big Buddha Hall", Japan's largest bronze Buddha statue, spectacular and tranquil, suitable for slowly shaking the mind after walking tired.

🚶Transportation Arrangement Tips:
From Kyoto, you can choose to take the JR "Nara Line" or "Kintetsu Kyoto Line", which takes about 50-60 minutes. After getting off the bus, follow the signs and walk to Nara Park, which is already a photo hotspot along the way. Snack shops and convenience stores are very convenient. If you are from Osaka, you can still take Kintetsu or JR, the drive is also about an hour, affordable and time-saving!

🍱 Food recommendations around Nara Park:
- The Kanoen Tea House focuses on Nara-limited Japanese-style desserts and deer-type biscuits.
- "Nakatani" has a super popular door-to-door marshmallow, said to be instant marshmallows, made on site and super fresh.
- There are many small shops around the park selling deer cakes. You can't get bored while eating and playing with the deer!

📌Nara Day Trip Notes:
1. Deer cakes should not be waved randomly, focus on one deer, not as a team to rush together.
2. Do not actively touch the deer when it is still small or suspected of being angry, keep the appropriate distance.
3. It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes (whether white shoes or black shoes), even if the weather is sunny to step on the grass, cloudy to step on the bluestone slabs are safe and handsome enough!

Go to Nara not only to see deer, but also unlimited photo spots, ancient temples and shrines for you to discover; and wander around do not have to rush, slowly walking and sipping coffee is simply happier than traveling ~ Nara day trip, have fun and peace of mind!
