Kasuga Taisha Shrine

Kasuga Taisha Shrine is a World Heritage Site located in Nara Park, a historic shrine founded in 768. The vermilion-painted shrine building and the stone lanterns on the approach to the shrine create a mystical atmosphere. The nature is beautiful throughout the seasons, and the wisteria flowers are especially famous. You can view valuable cultural assets in the Treasure Hall.

In the refreshing morning air, we hike towards Ukimido.

Ukimido

The Isagawa River originates from Mt. Kasuga and flows into Sagiike Pond, which is filled with brimming water. Ukimi-do is a hexagonal hall floating on the water's edge, with the majestic nature of Nara as its backdrop. As its name suggests, Ukimi-do reflects its shape on the water's surface, creating the illusion that it is floating on the water's surface.
