Introducing the photos posted on "Minna no Post"! This is a pickup post on the inbound tourism information SNS "COOL JAPAN VIDEOS". Today, I would like to introduce Ikumi's post "Ukimido and cherry blossoms in Nara Park". The view of the cherry blossoms in full bloom and the sunset is one of the superb views. Nara Park, located in Nara City, Nara Prefecture, is an urban park located in the east of Nara City and designated as a National Place of Scenic Beauty. It has a total area of about 502 hectares, and the park is dotted with Todaiji Temple, Kofukuji Temple, Kasuga Taisha Shrine, National Museum, etc. It is a popular tourist destination with many tourists from Japan and abroad. Perhaps the most famous attraction in Nara Park is the approximately 1,300 deer roaming freely. The deer in Nara Park are wild animals that are designated as national natural monuments. It is possible to feed only deer crackers sold nearby. It is important to observe rules and safety. In spring, it is a famous place for cherry blossoms that has been selected as one of the top 100 cherry blossom viewing spots. You can enjoy various cherry blossoms such as Somei Yoshino, Higanzakura, Yamazakura, and Narakokonoezakura. The best time to see them is from March to early May. In recent years, the beautiful scenery of cherry blossoms and deer has become a hot topic on SNS for being like a peachy town. There are plenty of restaurants in the area where you can have a delicious lunch. You can enjoy delicious dishes unique to Nara such as the long-established Yoshino Honkazu Tengokudo and Chagayu Tower Teahouse. ◆Nara Park◆ 【Address】〒630-8212 Kasugano-cho, Nara City 【Access】 About 8 minutes on foot from Kintetsu Nara Station 【Parking lot】Available (Please check the official website for details.) ）

Todaiji Temple I visited Nara Park on a family trip. It was my first time to go during the cherry blossom season and I was able to enjoy the cherry blossoms in full bloom. The collaboration between Nara's wonderful cherry blossoms and deer, which are said to be messengers of the gods, is sacred and seems to reflect the four seasons of Japan even more wonderfully. Nara Park and Todaiji Temple, which show various expressions in each season, are really recommended sightseeing spots.
