Nara Todai-ji, Wakakusa-yama Incomplete Guide (1)πΏ
This was my first time renting a car in Japan. I thought it would be super convenient, but the weather was scorching hot. ππΈ Even with our lunch break included, we spent a solid 3 hours touring and were completely exhausted by the endβand we didn't even make it to Kasuga Taisha! π #NaraDaibutsuden #WakakusaYama #KasugaTaisha Both Nara Daibutsuden (Todai-ji Temple) and Wakakusa-yama (Mount Wakakusa) can be visited by just walking around the mountains. The Nara National Museum is also on the way to Todai-ji Temple. ππΈ If you want to see #NaraDeer, you don't need to look for them specifically because they are everywhere! Deer crackers are 200 yen per bag, and the deer love them. They are also very curious about your napkins, fans, and hats! πΏπ¦ Todai-ji Temple requires a ticket to enter. As soon as you go in, you can book a Chinese-language tour. ππΈ It seems that most of the tour guides are elderly volunteers who love Chinese. They will give you a small booklet with Chinese text and pictures to explain the history and highlights of Todai-ji Temple. It's a great option if you're traveling with kids! #Nara π
