Uncover the Soul of Nara
Located less than an hour from Kyoto and Osaka, Nara (formerly known as Heijo-kyo) is where much of Japan’s early history and culture took root. As the nation’s first permanent capital, it remains home to some of the world’s oldest wooden structures and most significant Buddhist treasures. Walking through Nara offers a rare glimpse into the era that shaped the country’s spiritual and political foundations.
