Nara Street Scene
My 100 Best Moments in Japan - 9/100a stroll through Nara
The ancient city of Nara and former capital of Japan was on my must-see list for a long time. The city is located near Kyoto and packed with UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The picture was taken on my way to the famous Todaiji Temple. Many areas/neighbourhoods of Nara have the atmosphere of the 15/16th century. To see these old preserved houses with beautiful Japanese gardens made this moment very special for me.
