スタッフはとてもフレンドリーでした。奈良の可能スポットやハラルの食べ物を提供するレストランの情報も教えてくれました。祈り室も広くて綺麗でした。ムスリム旅行者にとってはとてもありがたいです。 The staff was very friendly! He taught me the best way to stroll around Nara with a sightseeing map they have which was very helpful for my first trip to Nara.I also used the free storage and the prayer room they have. The prayer room was extremely clean and spacious! There is a place for doing the Wudhu too, so it is very convenient for muslim who is traveling to Nara.

Nara Park

Reviewed By 901aditia - Hyderabad, India

In early April, when there are cherry blossoms everywhere, the weather is great, there are wild (but friendly) deer all around you and eating deer crackers from your hand, some lovely gardens with waterfalls- there is no better place than Nara. In my view it is best covered individually or with family

Beautiful hike up to see all of Nara. We were there during one of the festival in early March and saw they light large torches and run across the temple. It was amazing!

Omiwa Shrine

Reviewed By kimitakas - Taichung, Taiwan

Omiwa Shrine is the oldest Shinto shrine in Japan. Its wide precinct is filled with a majestic atmosphere. There is a hall of reverence, but there is no tangible body of god. Mt. Miwa, behind this shrine, is the god of Omiwa Shrine. This place is therefore the origin of animism and Japanese Shinto. It is absolutely worth visiting this holy place. There are many subsidiary shrines that you should visit.
