Dahil super bait ng mga boss ko at super generous, nakapunta kaming Japan. Yahoooo!!! Summer sa Japan so super init pero okay lang. Magrereklamo pa ba ako sa libre?? 🙂
We took a day tour to Nara and here are some of the tourist spotswe went to:
Todaji Temple
Todaiji, also known as the “Great Eastern Temple” is a landmark of Nara and one of Japan’s most famous temples.
The temple was constructed in 752 as the head temple of all provincial Buddhist temples of Japan and grew so powerful that the capital was moved from Nara to Nagaoka in 784 in order to lower the temple’s influence on government affairs. – japan-guide.com
Nandaimon Gate
Nandaimon Gate is the Great Southern Gate for Todaiji Temple. Nandaimon Gate is around 400m south of the main Todaiji Temple and today almost appears to be a separate structure by itself. Nandaimon Gate, being part of Todaiji Temple, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and forms part of the ‘Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara’ listing. – gojapango.com
Right beside the Todaji temple is the Nara Park (Nara Koen).
The park is home to hundreds of freely roaming deer. Considered in Shinto to be messengers of the gods, Nara’s nearly 1500 deer have become a symbol of the city and have been designated a natural treasure. – japan-guide.com
Although they appear to be tame, a deer can be aggressive too. In fact, a deer attacked my boss’ bag! Haha!
And they are free to wander around the park, so better close your washroom door.
Bihira ako mag-selfie… kaya pagbigyan niyo na ako 😛
Bakit ako nagpa-selfie sa deer? Ang nickname ko kasi nung bata ako ay pareho sa name ng isang famous Disney deer (na lalake!) Hindi ko pa rin alam bakit naging nickname ko yun until now.
Hope you enjoyed the photos courtesy of my friend, Keith! ‘Til the next kuwento 😛
if visiting Japan, buy the Shinkansen ticket good for 7 days, its discounted for tourists only, you can buy online. If you buy individual tixx is very expensive, like from Kyoto to Tokyo is $250 roundtrip, I bought the 7 day pass and went to Aomori, Kyoto, Osaka, Tokyo in between during the August festival for $500.00

Na-tummy butt din ako ng mga deer sa Nara. Napilitan tuloy akong bumili ng deer crackers.
Nagpunta kami jan ng bestfriend ko sa serbisyo last May. Malamig pa (as in Tagaytay/Baguio weather) kaya ang sarap maglakad. Did you also go to Kyoto and Osaka?
Kami summer! Super init! Yup we stayed in Osaka tapos day tour sa. Kyoto and Nara 🙂
hi! ask ko lang if need pa rin ng Japan Visa? We’re already booked to go to Japan next year. Hope to hear from you guys thanks *^_^*
Hi Melissa, yup, kelangan pa rin 🙂 i think within 3 months before the trip kelangan mag-apply. 🙂 enjoy!
