International travelers will have their hands full when visiting Tokyo, so few make it out outside the world’s largest city when visiting Japan. The travelers who get to explore further afield are delighted with the distinctive cities they experience. One of these travel destinations that’s worth a visit is Nara. 

Nara is situated just to the east of Osaka and south of Kyoto, which makes it the perfect stop on a trip to Japan’s non-Tokyo cities. It’s one of the most historically significant places in Japan (and that’s saying something), with a number of imperial palaces and temples located within the city center. 

Nara is, perhaps, most famous for its iconic deer at Nara Park. The Japanese revere these woodland creatures for being the messengers of the gods, which adds a spiritual element to the tranquil oasis. This expansive green space is a must-visit, and it’s located just outside the city center and is very easy to reach. 

While the temples and parks are serene and comforting, there’s also plenty of culture in Nara to be had. Nara’s restaurants are incredible, and there’s a surprising nightlife scene to enjoy. The shopping in Nara is as solid as it gets outside of Tokyo. In other words, you won’t lack for things to do in this city.
