If you’re planning your trip to Japan and wondering things to do in Nara<\/strong>, you’ve come to the right place. Nara was our day trip from Osaka, and we admit that at first, we weren’t sure about it. We almost skipped it. That would have been a huge mistake! Because Nara stole our hearts in a way we never expected.<\/p>\n

The city was Japan’s first permanent capital back in the 8th century, and today it coexists between ancient history and something absolutely unique: hundreds of wild deer walking the streets alongside tourists, as if they were the true owners of the place. Spoiler: in a way, they are.<\/p>\n

We arrived from Osaka by train and had a full day to explore it. It was enough for the main highlights, but honestly… you enjoy it much more with more time. In this guide, we’ll tell you everything we saw, what surprised us, and what you can’t miss if you go to Nara, Japan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=\u00bbads IATI primeros parrafos 5off (2026) – EN\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.8″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_module=\u00bb15677″ saved_tabs=\u00bball\u00bb locked=\u00bboff\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

How to get to Nara from Osaka and Kyoto<\/h2>\n

The first thing you want to know when planning your visit is how to get around. Nara is very well connected and incredibly easy to reach by public transport, which is exactly what we did.<\/p>\n

From Osaka, the Kintetsu Nara Line train leaves from Namba Station and arrives directly at Kintetsu Nara Station in about 40 minutes. You can also take the JR Loop to Tsuruhashi and change there, but the Kintetsu is clearly more convenient. If you are using a JR Pass, the JR Yamatoji line from Osaka\u2013JR Namba will take you to JR Nara Station in approximately 45 minutes.<\/p>\n

From Kyoto, the fastest option is also the Kintetsu Limited Express from Kintetsu Kyoto Station: it arrives in about 35 minutes. A marvel of Japanese efficiency. Keep in mind that Kintetsu Nara Station is closer to the park than JR Nara Station, so if you can choose, take the Kintetsu.<\/p>\n
