Japan's first capital with friendly deer
Japan's 8th-century capital — 1,200 free-roaming sacred deer in Nara Park, the world's largest wooden building (Tōdai-ji), and a great day trip from Kyoto or Osaka.
Walk Nara Park; train from Kyoto/Osaka in 45 min.
Day-trip from Kyoto — staying overnight is unnecessary.
Among the safest countries in the world. Cash is still king in many places.
Quiet — most leave by evening.
