    Nara Yoshino-gun Kamikitayama Mura Kotochi 660-1 Odaigahara Visitor Center
    This hiking course to Mt. Odaigahara in Yoshino-Kumano National Park is located in Kamikitayama Village, Yoshino County. Odaigahara Plateau is broadly divided into two areas; Higashi-Odai and Nishi-Odai. Higashi-Odai, the eastern areas, has many scenic spots to enjoy such as Masaki Pass and Mt. Hidegadake, which at 1,694 meters is the highest point in the area. Colonies of rhododendron also bloom in the area from the end of May to early June.

    Nara Katsuragi-shi Takenouchi
    "This government road, Japan's oldest, is described in a passage on Empress Suiko in the ancient ""Nihon shoki"" chronicle, which states: ""A great road shall be placed leading from Naniwa to the capital."" The 26-kilometer-long section extending from the Oshoji in Sakai Ward, Osaka to Nagao Shrine in Katsuragi City, Nara Prefecture is known as the Takenouchi Kaido. There are two recommended walking courses in Katsuragi City which utilize the road, a fun 4.3-kilometer-long course and a nine-kilometer long course visiting the sights depicted in the ancient Saigoku 33 Shomeishozu sightseeing picture book."

Nara Areas

around-area-map

With a reputation almost as stellar as that of Kyoto, Nara is a must-visit for those searching for the remains of "traditional Japan." The largely green Nara city holds the majority of the prefecture’s treasures, such as the iconic Todai-ji Temple, in which a 15-meter tall Great Buddha sits, and Nara Park, where deer flock to befriend passersby. While mountains are by no means hard to come by in this area, for hiking with a reward, head to the Kii Mountains’ Yoshino district in spring, when the hillsides put on an impressive display of white and pink cherry blossoms.
