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 ... ...the Kintetsu line to Kintetsu Nara Station which took approximately 45 minutes and cost 610 Yen. (Sometimes this will involve a change, but on our trip this was not necessary - more direct trains take 35 minutes, but cost 1,100 Yen). It is also possible to get to Nara via JR train, but are not as regular.
