    This is an art museum along Prefectural Route 754 in Noborioji Town, Nara City.

They hold special exhibitions related to the history of Nara, and art exhibitions as exchanges with international art museums.

    Nara Nara-shi Suimoncho 74

    The main attraction are the gardens. The museum is just a complement with a very small collection. We entered the place to avoid the rain and it was just ok.

    Nara Pref. Narashi Suimonchou 74
    This is the only “chisen-kaiyu-shiki teien” or pond strolling garden in Nara City, Isuien Garden consists of two gardens built during the Edo period and the Meiji period. Its appeal lies in the fact that you can comfortably appreciate the Nara-like landscape in a peaceful location with Tōdai-ji’s Great South Gate, Mt. Wakakusa, Mt. Kasugaokuyama and Mt. Mikasa. The Neiraku Museum which is located within the park holds and exhibits fine art such as antique Chinese bronzeware, and Chinese, Korean and Japanese ceramics and porcelain.

    新薬師寺の近くにある奈良市写真美術館の中にあるカフェです。 この辺りは初めて来たのですが、とても閑静な住宅街です。どこかでゆっくりしたいなぁと思い、この写真美術館が入場自由(有料のスペースもあり)と書いてあったので入ったら中にこのカフェがありました。 とても静かで窓も大きくかつ眩しくなく、緑のお庭を見ながらのんびりできます。 ケーキは二種類で、この日はマンゴーフロマージュとチョコマーブルシフォン...

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.
