    "Some of this park's many highlights include a ""global forest"" with 10 thousand rhododendrons spanning 120 varieties gathered from around the world, a forest museum where you can learn about forests while having fun, and a large grass lawn with wooden playground equipment. There's also a delightful plant park with trees which grow on the Kii Peninsula, and a plant specimen garden with a variety of trees and plants."

    Nara Yoshino-gun Tenkawamura Dorogawa 784-32

    センターのテーマは自然,水,修験道だそうです.吉野熊野国立公園・大峯山系の自然を紹介する情報発信基地であり,大峯山行場西ノ覗の3D体験コーナーがありましたが,覗く姿勢が苦しかったです.その他の展示品は非常に少なく感じました.無料の施設ですが,コロナ禍でもあり,来客者は私たちだけでした.

    Nara Yoshino-gun Tenkawamura Dorogawa 492-1

    龍泉寺にお参りし、歩いてすぐのところに歴史博物館が… 思わず引き込まれて入って行きました。 こじんまりとした空間ですが、大峯山の歴史が詳しく分かる映像が流れており、気が付けば1時間以上滞在してました。 大峯山寺にお参りしたつもり?になれるようなそんな博物館です。

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.
