Nara - 奈良


Today, the weather was really perfect. Nara is the first real capital of Japan and with its temples and shrines one of the most interesting cities of the Kansai area. In the Nara park, there are a lot of deers running around. They want to be fed. We visited a couple of temples, in particular the Todai-ji containing the second-largest Buddha. A lot of temples like Todai-ji are part of the world heritage.
