    Modelled on the Chinese capital, the site of Japanese capital Fujiwara Palace (Shin-yaku no Miyako) contains remains from year 694 of the Emperor's residential Imperial Palace, and the Council Hall where he conducted ceremonies and politics. It is known as a famous place to see Mt. Kagu, Mt. Unebi, and Mt. Miminashi (of the Yamato Sanzan or the three mountains of Yamato), and in June of 2011 the view of Yamato Sanzan from the Fujiwara former palace site was designated as one of Nara's important sceneries. There grow a variety of flowers including rape blossom, cosmos and sacred lotus, and here one can enjoy the scenery of the changing seasons.

  • Moto-yakushiji Temple Ruins

    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

around-area-map

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.
