Nara

Nara — Japan's first permanent capital — enchants with 1,200 freely roaming sika deer considered sacred messengers of the gods, the monumental Tōdai-ji Temple housing Japan's largest bronze Buddha, and Kasuga Grand Shrine draped in lantern light. A half-day excursion from Kyoto or Osaka, Nara rewards those who seek serenity over spectacle.
