NARA JAPAN TRAVEL GUIDE // 12 UNIQUE Things To Do in Nara
My Nara Japan travel guide is finally finished - with a look at 12 unique things to do in Nara City and Nara Prefecture.
While Nara is most famous for its friendly deer, many people don’t realise there is so much more on offer in both the city of Nara and Nara prefecture - from beautiful shrines and temples, to farm stays, shopping, high en food, forest bathing and magical onsen villages.

Day Trip to Nara, Japan - 奈良 日帰り
Join Thuong and I on our day trip adventure from Nagoya to Nara.
Nara is located in between Osaka, Kyoto and Nagoya, so it's a great destination for a day trip from any of these cities. It is a beautiful city with lots of history, temples, stunning nature, and delicious food. Oh, and don't forget about the giant Buddha statue at Toudaiji Temple.
This was when Thuong and I were just dating, though now she is my wife :)

Welcome to the 'Lost In' Series. This series is composed of our travel adventures and our reflections on the different places that we have visited.
In this episode, we explore the beautiful city of Osaka. A more laid back version of Tokyo but with equally as much to offer. Watch our video for an insight of all the amazing things to do in this growing tourist hotspot.
PLACES VISITED IN OSAKA:
››› Umeda Sky Building 梅田スカイビル
››› HEP Five Ferris Wheel
››› Dontonbori 道頓堀
››› HozenjiTemple 法善寺
››› Pokemon Center
››› Shinsekai 新世界
››› Den-Den Town
››› Shitennoji 四天王寺
››› Osaka Castle
››› Kushikatsu restaurant (highly recommended!): Kuskikatsu Daruma ShinsekaiSouhonten (Address: Japan, 〒556-0002 Osaka Prefecture, Osaka, Naniwa Ward, Ebisuhigashi, 2 Chome−３−９)

TIPS/ADVICES
›››We would recommend staying at an accommodation around Namba or DenDen Town. Both are central to where all the fun touristy things are! We stayed in DenDen Town and mostly everything was walking distance away.
›››Purchase an Osaka amazing pass! This pass is a definite bang for your buck and really allows you to see what the city of Osaka has to offer. This pass allows you free access to many attractions, discounts for certain things and unlimited access to the subway!!! It was amazing!
›››Arrive to attractions EARLY in the morning. A lot of attractions can get over-crowded during prime time. Jim and I woke up early everyday and really enjoyed the quiet, peacefulness of the attractions we visited. For example, Osaka Castle and Shitennoji can get really crowded.
FAQ's ›››
›››Q: Could you also please give me a list of where to eat in Osaka?
›››A: we highly recommend exploring the dotonbori area and let your nose do the guiding. Ichiran ramen is a must visit for sure but be sure to visit around 11-3pm as we found that there was not a very long wait at that time. We also found the Pablo Cafe right by the Glico Running Man sign was very delicious! We highly recommend the original flavor cheese tarts. Lesli is a huge fan of their soft serve ice cream for their unique light cheese flavored ice cream. Last recommendation is in the restaurant area in the basement of umeda station called Shabu Sai. It is an all you can eat for a very affordable price (2900yen). The beef was very soft and tender and they have an excellent selection of vegetables.
