We took a train from Kyoto to Nara today. Just like Kyoto, Nara is a World Heritage City under the listing "Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara." All over the city, you'll see deer roaming around. Vendors sell crispy-wafers which visitors can feed to the deer. We passed by three of the sites.

In the afternoon, we took another train, this time to the town of Ikaruga (just a few minutes from Nara) to visit another World Heritage Site, the "Buddhist Monuments in the Horyu-ji Area" in particular, the Horyu-ji Temple.

Yup, many of the major temples have them :)

Nara is really close to Kyoto, just about 50 minutes by train.

We planned to go there (and to Tokyo), but our schedule was so hectic :( It's a good thing were able to go to Kanazawa Gardens and one of the temples in Kyoto. Thanks again :)

I'm sure there will be another chance. Next time I visit Japan, I'll get the 7-day train pass!
