    Nara Pref. Kashiharashi Kidonochou 279
    The Moto-yakushiji Temple Ruins are the original site of Yakushiji Temple, which was originally built in the year 680 but would later be relocated to its current location. While today only a small shrine remains standing, the former site of the front garden still contains the cornerstone of the main temple structure, the mounds and foundation stones of both the East Pagoda and West Pagoda. One of its highlights is the common water hyacinths that bloom between mid-august to late September. During peak seasons the site is carpeted with nearly 400,000 of the beautiful purple flowers.

Nara Areas

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.
