    Nara Gose-shi Kujira 2569
    A plateau spreading across Mt. Katsuragi nearly 959 meters above sea level in Kujira, Gose City. From the foot of the mountain you can ride the Mt. Katsuragi Ropeway and from the peak of the gentle sloping terrain you can look over the scenery of the Yamato Basin and the Osaka Plain. Famous for azaleas, it's said you can see a million azaleas in a single glance and in the fall you can admire the pampas grass and in the winter the frost covered trees.

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.
