This temple are very famous one in Nara. I went to there several time also I already posted the same place on my blog.But what is different that I went to the Todaiji temple with TravBuddy friend's Wayne and Steph on the 13th Sep! They were so friendly and lovely persons.Also they were stayed at my…

Due to jet lag, I woke up pretty early and headed down to the train station sometime after 7am. After figuring out where my train to Nara is, I bought the ticket and it was only a few minutes before the train showed up. There were lots of trains to Nara, every few minutes it seemed. The ride was ab…

Dang, the forecast was correct. Woke up to leaden skies and rain, rain, rain. In no rush to get wet, we killed time in the room until hunger and dearth of groceries sent us out in a search for sustenance. I did a quick search online and found two vegetarian-friendly options here in Osaka... off we …

While we were in Kyoto and Nara, the biggest challenge was to keep our five-year-old son entertained. Most attractions in these old capital cities are shrines and temples, and that's what we (my husband and I, the grown-ups) wanted to see. But, obviously, these historical sites are not so exciting …

Nara is great place as sight seeing of Japan. I went to there with my french friend. Then I made plan of it. I wanted him to try Japanese tea. Nara is convenient for tourist because some good place are near the Kintetsu Nara station. We went to Todaiji at first. There is very big Buddha. I tell yo…

Nara was rife with headaches.  Mini headaches for the most part, but headaches (plural) add up fast.  Finding the guesthouse turned out to be another feat: the directions said to cross the street and walk straight, and that it was just before the end of the street.  By “end of the …

Here are some pictures of my trip to Japan from 15 August - 21 August 2007.

I love Kansai region, as they have so many great things to see and eat :) Most of the time, I chose to stay in Kyoto, but this time, I visited Koya-san, Yoshino, and Himeji. It was a bit too early for cherry blossom, but I really had a great time there.

Japan's first imperial capital in Japan was established in the year 710 at Heijo, the city now known as Nara. As the influence and political ambitions of the city's powerful Budhists monasteries grew to become a serious threat to the government, the capital was moved to Nagaoka in 784. Nara today…

I could spend the day walking around the modern attractions of Osaka but I decide instead to head a bit out of the big city to go and see the ancient capital of Japan. It is only a short train ride from JR Namba station in Osaka to Nara - at least in theory if you can actually figure out the …

It was my first trip by myself :P haha  I'm 19, so too late ne :P It's said 'park' but it means 'area'. There are many tumuluses,remains and temples etc. in the Asuka period. If you go there,you'd better rent a bike. adress:Asuka-mura, Takaichi-gun, Nara http://www.asuka-park.go.jp/&n…

So today I lined up an English speaking tour guide for a tour of Nara.  I came here a few nights ago, but I pretty much just walked around and gaped at shit, so I thought it would be a much better experience if I had someone around to give me some background on all the cool stuff I was gaping …

4th times visiting Japan.. Got so relaxing and culture experience this time.. I was almost dying with extremely busy work by holding a festival in the end of 2007. Fortunately, I did feel refresh and get better after staying Japan for 2 week, doing nothing, eating assorted tasteful food and traveling most of facinating cities not only in Kansi area, namely, Osaka, Nara, Wakayama, Kyoto, Kobe and Hemiji, but also Mie, Toba and Ise.. Koyashan is no doubt still my favourit!!

I went to Nara University of Education for the Japan Outdoor Education Society conference.  The conference was neat although I was confused for about 90% of it (the whole language thing can hinder the learning process at times).  But Nara is amazing.  It is one of the original capita…
