Naramachi Museum exhibits various tools, signboards and other items used in the Edo and Meiji Periods. The owner of this museum is Mr. Tetsuro Minami, whose ancestor started mosquito net manufacturing business in 1907 in Naramachi. Many of the exhibited items were found in the old storehouse of his family or in their neighbors’ and friends’ houses. He and his father collected them with great care and efforts. They have altered part of their private residence to exhibit their collections. The museum is open to the public for free.

Todaiji Temple in Nara Prefecture has probably the biggest statue of Lord Buddha in all over Japan. The temple was once the biggest temple that was made up of wood but due to the earthquakes , later it did not remain as the biggest wooden temple. The quiet environment with lush green trees, ponds and the bunch of deer walking around makes the environment of the temple more interesting.

The mechanical toy museum is a must! It's free, which feels weird after having enjoyed our visit so much. The lady who was showing us around was very pleasant and spoke good english. Personally we enjoy folktales from Japan and seeing the shadow theatre toy with poses from the tales was awesome!
