As the capital of Japan during the Nara period from 710 to 794, Nara breathes with an ancient aura that transports one back to those historic times. Inspired by the Tang capital in China, Nara's cityscape features a grid system with spectacular temples and the ruler's palace. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city homes eight significant temples, shrines, and ruins, including Tōdai-ji, Saidai-ji, Kōfuku-ji, Kasuga Shrine, Gangō-ji, Yakushi-ji, Tōshōdai-ji, and the Heijō Palace.

Nara's charm also lies in its vibrant festivals, including the Neri-Kuyo Eshiki and the Kemari Festival. And where else but in Nara Park could you get greeted by the friendly deer roaming freely around you? Today, Nara, with a population of approximately 359,666, has transformed from a historical trading town to a modern tourist city, encapsulating its history within the architecture, culture, and overall feel of the place.
