Lovely town, a nice change of pace to the hustle and bustle of the city life we experienced in Tokyo. The deer and their bowing were a particular favorite of our group's, and the beautiful scenery and parks with the cherry blossoms were perfect.

I prefer Nara over Kyoto simply because there are less crowds and I find that Nara has a much deeper history. The many museums and shrines really make it a special experience to visit.

Nara is a lovely place to stay. Much nicer at night time as the majority of tourists come for a day trip form Osaka or Kyoto. The park is lovely and the key draw but there are lots of other things to do nearby so you could easily stay a few days.

It is not as crowded as the Kyoto area. Still, many of their oldest wooden structures and statues exist. It is a great location to learn about the ancient Ikaruga city. Lots of UNESCO helitage sites.
