Todaiji Temple. The biggest sitting Buddha of Japon is here, waiting for you! His home, Todaiji is the world’s biggest wooden building.

Kasuga Taisha Great Shrine. Kasuga Taisha is located inside Nara park. You will experience the presence of the Japanese old gods and of their messengers, the cute deer.

Nara Park is the home of 1400 shika deer. We meet them when we walk from Kasuga-taisha. We can even pet them.
