    Nara Yoshino-gun Totsukawamura Ohara 225-1

    川沿いの国道を北上していた際、たまたま見かけて立寄りました。道の駅の一つとして期待していたのですが、平地の少ない地域柄、駐車場は狭く建物自体もまるで元役場か学校のような外観をしていました。1F部分には地元物産販売店となっており一寸した土産物調達には便利でした。又、蕎麦店が2Fにあったものの残念ながら閉店時間となっていました。

    今まで人工芝エリアだけであった犬の散歩禁止が広場内(実質施設全体)で禁止と変更されていました。いきなりの変更で非常に残念です。今日は変更に気づかずいつものように散歩していたところ、施設の方が来られ犬の散歩禁止を告げられました。施設内に飲食店があり糞尿の処理をしない一部の飼い主への対応と犬アレルギーの方もいるとの説明でした。糞尿の問題であればまず注意喚起からだと思うし、犬アレルギーを屋外て問題とされ...

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.
