    Nara Pref. Narashi Kunodouchou 13
    A café situated inside an old Japanese-style home in the Naramachi (Town of Nara) area centering on the former grounds of the Gango-ji Temple. The remodeled home still retains its old latticed and frosted glass windows, giving the café an old-fashioned yet somehow familiar atmosphere. The café’s signature menu item is the Kanakana-gohan, which comes with a variety of healthy Japanese side dishes, rice, and miso soup. The café’s full menu also includes cakes, pudding, and carefully selected beverages. Closest station: Kintetsu-Nara Station.

    Nara Pref. Narashi Kasasagichou 8
    This is a liquor store located in Kasasagi Town, Nara City. It is a long-established store founded in the beginning of the Meiji period, registered as a Tangible Cultural Property of the country. The sake specialty store offers a wide range of sake from the local sake breweries of Nara prefecture. Visitors can also casually enjoy sake, wine, and beer in the shop cafe.

    Great little place across from a small temple. Outdoor seating, large selection, and a great price. Not very many places offer seating outside so this is the place to grab a cold one

    身体に優しい玄米ランチと足湯でいつも癒やされています。ランチは薄味かと思いきや、塩麹やスパイスで変化がつけられていてどれも美味しい!いろんな野菜を少しずつたっぷりとれます。足湯もちょうどいい頃に足し湯をしてくれて、ゆっくり過ごせますよ。

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.
