I plan to visit Nara, Japan, from July 10 to July 24, 2025, to immerse myself in its rich cultural heritage and serene natural beauty. Known for its historical significance and as the heart of Japanese culture, Nara offers a unique blend of ancient temples, traditional festivals, and picturesque landscapes. Over the 15-day trip, Jan and I will explore the city's famed temples, such as Todai-ji and Kasuga-taisha, and enjoy the tranquility of Nara Park with its friendly roaming deer. Staying at the Nara Royal Hotel, we chose this cozy accommodation for its comfort and convenient location, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploration.
