Advantages: You can see pretty much everything you want to see in a day Disadvantages: There is no real nightlife, but then again that's not what you go to Nara for.
Nara is the capital of Nara-ken (or prefecture) and came to fame as the first permanent capital of Japan. Established in 710 it was known as Nara-heijokyo for only eighty years when power moved to Kyoto. Today the city mainly exists as the Kansai region's second most popular tourist attraction as it contains a various World Heritage Sites, National Treasures and Important Cultural Assets. On our trip we chose to take a whole day in order to see as many of Nara's attractions as possible - a half day would be suitable to see a selection.
GETTING THERE
The nearest airport is Kansai International Airport in Osaka, and is probably best if you are only intending on visiting the Kansai region. If you are arriving in Tokyo, you will need to take the Shinkansen (bullet train) bound for Hikari and change to the Kintetsu line to get to Nara ...

CBeebies ? Waybuloo
Welcome to Nara
I try to limit the programmes my daughter watches and am a self-confessed picky mummy when it comes to what programmes I allow my daughter to watch, though sometimes I am very grateful for children?s channels such as CBeebies, which is produced by the BBC, as it really aids me when I need to get on with some housework!
Although Waybuloo is played at certain times of the day, my daughter generally watches this in the ?Bedtime Hour? as a way of beginning to settle down for the night ? and it actually does help calm her down.

WELCOME TO NARA

Waybuloo is one of the newest CBeebies programmes for young children, first airing in May 2009. It is set in a make-believe land of Nara and features four main 3D CGI animated characters known as the ?Piplings ...
Advantages: Central location, clean Disadvantages: Food, rooms
We stayed at this hotel in London a little over a month ago now for two nights, we chose this hotel mainly because of the central location and because it was only a ten minuite walk from the show we had booked to go too.
Check in was very quick - About ten minuites and the staff at the reception seemed very friendly.
My first thoughts on the hotel was that it looked really clean and that it was nicely decorated and it looked modern.
I was a little dissapointed with our room as it was very small and basic, our room had a double bed, tea and coffee making facilities, a tv with satellite and a small, basic en suite bathroom with a shower.
The views from our room very very poor - A block of offices which made our room dark as they were so close.
The hotel has two bars and two resturaunts, the bars were again nicely decorated ...
