    Nara Nara-shi Nijoojiminami 4-6-1 Heijo Miya Ato History Park

    みはらし館とありますが、2階建ぐらいです。高さはありません。ただ朱雀門南側のいくつかの建物のうち、北西のカドにあるので、展望デッキ朱雀門からずっと北に位置する第一次太極殿までが見渡せるはずのアングルでした。令和2年3月時点で南門復原工事の真っ最中なので、残念ながら見えませんでした。その代わり平城宮の敷地を横切る近鉄奈良線がよく見渡せるので「みはらし館」なのかもしれませんね。

Nara Areas

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.
