どう行こうかと思案の結果、JR畝傍から歩きました。駅は北口しかないので東に向かい踏切を渡ってから南下。結構距離があります。近くまで行くと風鈴の音が聞こえて来ます。園内はバラの鉢とカラフルなビニール傘が地面の所狭しと置いてあり、間を歩きます。宗教施設なのか何なのか解らない印象のまま、後にしました。

- Nara Pref. Kashiharashi Kumechou 934
- This shrine is dedicated to Emperor Jimmu and his wife. The shrine was erected by Emperor Meiji in 1890 based on the Nihon Shoki, one of Japan’s oldest history books, which records that the Emperor Jimmu was enthroned at the site. Located at the foot of Mt. Unebi, the hinoki bark thatched, bare-wood main shrine and kagura hall harmonize perfectly with the thick and verdant forest which surround the shrine’s gravel path. The main shrine was a sanctuary in the Kyoto Imperial Palace that was moved here.

はっきり言ってかなり一般向けでは無いので、虫が嫌いな方はおススメ出来ません。 標本は少し古いのか色の発色が良く無いものもありましたが、生きてる昆虫に関しては中々良かったです。他に周りたい所があったのです一時間程しか滞在できませんでしたが、虫好きだと結構長くいられます。 生きた珍しい蝶々が沢山見られるのでかなりレアな場所です。個人的にはかなり楽しめましたが、珍しいゴキブリも展示してあるので、やはり...

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.
