With certain JR West Rail Pass you’ll be able to enjoy free bicycle rental in Nara Station for the entire day. Cycling around Nara Park is a convenient way to travel as the attractions are nearby each other.
The designated national treasure “Sarusawaike”, just down the stairs of Kofuku-ji, is a pond with over 1,300 years history. It reflects the five-stories high pagoda in its water, creating a natural art piece. We stopped to admire the beauty of nature and Zed had a lot of fun pointing out insects and turtles he saw along the way.
“Nakatanido”, a shop which sells one of the famous product in Nara, is near Sarusawa Pond. We tried the freshly handmade mochi and it has just the right amount of sweetness packed in each piece. Yummy!
We went to the Nara Park next, where we were allowed to feed the deer. Deer gather in town and roam around the big park freely during the day and before night fall, they slowly return home. 🦌 Cutest thing was that the deer will bow to you if you bow, try it 😁
