    Nara Pref. Ikomashi Onitorichou 168
    First opened in 1999, this restaurant is divided up into three areas, the Sakura (Cherry Blossoms) Area, where guests can take their time to enjoy a meal, the Hitsuji (Sheep) Area, where you can meet and pet animals in a natural setting, and the Yamagoya (Mountain Hut) Area, a gallery used to host various exhibits and events. In the Sakura Area, course meals are available for both lunch and dinner. Their special vegetable dishes only available on nights with full moons are also popular. The Hitsuji Area offers special plates, soup sets, and more.

    10時に到着して散策を楽しみ、セイロンティーを頼んでこたつでゆっくりしました。寒い日でしたが、こたつが要らないくらいサンルームになっていて暖かく過ごせました。カレープレートはボリュームが多く、単品でも良かったです。

    This Thai restaurant is located on National Route 169 in Takabatakecho, Nara City across from Meisho Kyudaijoin Teien Garden.

    Ordered spring roll and green curry from the separate vegetarian (actually vegan) menu (thank you!). Plus Singha beer--nice! DH ordered the tom yum kum dinner set, and an additional plate of shrimp...

    Nara Pref. Narashi Higashimukiminamimachi 19 Yoshida Building 2F
    This Vietnamese restaurant in Higashimuki-Minamimachi, Nara City offers authentic Vietnamese cuisine prepared by their Vietnamese chef, including noodle dishes, spring rolls, and rice dishes. As you might expect given the popularity of noodles in Vietnam, their selection of pho and other noodle dishes is especially abundant.

    Stopped over for dinner. The place is nicely decorated and the service was very good. We had a chicken curry and it was so delicious. Prices were very worth it. 100% recommended

    Nara Pref. Narashi Konishichou 15 Zhongshan Building 2F

    I would like to give this a five star ready, especially given the reasonable price, but it didn’t quite make it. We ate fairly light and didn’t try many dishes, but the carpaccio was very good, this...

    奇抜な店舗が25号沿いで一際目立っていた。立ち寄ると本格インド料理店だ。インドを懐かしみ中へ。ランチがあり、ナンが食べ放題であった。チキンカレーも旨かった。

    Very nice lunch for just under 1000¥ per person with a drink. A bit of a language barrier (even google translate didnt help much), but the staff were very polite. We ordered the beef with rice which...

    Nara Nara-shi Shimosanjocho 44-2

    We stumbled across this place by chance, it’s up some fairly non-descript stairs with a sign outside. I’m so happy we did as it’s one of the best curries we’ve ever had. We each had a set menu that...

    Nara Pref. Kitakatsuragigunoujichou Kudo 2-chome 2-1

    信貴山に行く途中にランチで利用しました。マユールランチは1,000円以内で2種類のカレーが選べてうれしい。サイドメニューのティッカやケバブなどは少量で注文できるのでランチセットに追加して楽しめました。味も申し分ないと感じました。 家の近くにあれば何度も行くと思います。

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.
