Hase-dera Temple

Quite simply, Hase-dera Temple is a beautiful temple that usually flies under the radar of overseas tourists due to its location, some 40 minutes south of Nara City.

Founded in 686 as a dedication to the then Emperor Tenmu who was suffering from a disease, the temple is cradled in a picturesque valley and boasts a collection of over 30 structures. The vast grounds are decorated with an array of seasonal flowers, so much so that barely a day goes by when the temple is not frequented by pilgrims and photographers eager to take in the many breathtaking vistas that the temple offers.

The list of blooms is quite considerable, but highlights are likely to be the cherry blossoms from the end of March through early April, and the Chinese peonies of late May. Then the magnificent hydrangea displays, rhododendrons and azaleas which herald the onset of summer.

Once the heat arrives, the oleander and crape myrtle take center stage. Come autumn, the grounds are filled with vibrant reds, oranges and yellows, which finally make way for winter peonies and eventually, plum blossoms which signal the start of spring.

This season has seen a spike in accidents between tourists and the deer of Nara park. It's now mating season and there are 100 more male deer in the park that there were this time last year and this may be why they are more aggressive than usual.

To prevent injuries, please follow these guidelines:

Keep a safe distance from deer. Do not touch them, especially the males, as they may suddenly stab with their antlers.

Avoid staring directly at a deer's face or antlers. They might suddenly become agitated.

Be cautious of young male deer, aged one to two years. Their single antler can easily cause injury.

Always be aware of the deer's movements. Do not turn your back on them or stand between a male and female deer.

When feeding them deer crackers, extend your hand fully. Once finished, open both hands wide to show your palms. This signals "no more."

Kitora Tumulus and Mural Experiential Museum

The Kitora Tumulus is a two-tiered, circular mound that came into the spotlight in 1983 following the discovery of its vividly colored murals. After an archaeological survey, the tumulus was reburied and restored to its original dimensions in 2015.

Constructed between the late 7th and early 8th centuries, features a stone chamber adorned with mural paintings influenced by continental Asian styles. Extensive studies and conservation efforts have been undertaken to preserve the mound, stone chamber, and murals.

Connecting the Prayers of Ancient People to the Future in Yakushiji Temple

Mr.Ishii, a master craftsman who appeared on NHK's New Project X-Challengers, will take you on a tour of Yakushiji Temple. He learned the essence of Tenpyo-era craftsmanship from the late Tsunekazu Nishioka. He is still involved in the daily restoration and reconstruction of the Hakuho Garan (the Hakuho-period temple complex) at Yakushiji Temple.

In its 1,300-year history, Yakushiji Temple has lost many halls through fires, earthquakes, and typhoons. The East Pagoda is the only building that has existed since the founding of the Yakushiji Temple and is the oldest structure built in Heijo-kyo from 710 to 784, located in Nara. In 2009, the East Pagoda was dismantled entirely and repaired for the first time in its history, and after restoration work, it was completed in February 2021.

Participants of the tour will hear and experience three stories. The first is about the dismantling and repair of the East Pagoda of Yakushiji Temple, which Fenollosa described as "frozen. music; the second is about "Traditional skills, techniques and knowledge for the conservation and transmission of wooden architecture in Japan" which was registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2020; and the third is about the essence of temple master craftsmanship, which has been handed down over 1,300 years of history.

Through the experience of O-shakyo (sutra-copying), one of the attractive features of Yakushiji Temple, visitors will learn how to connect the prayers of ancient people to the future and contribute to the restoration of the Hakuho Garan. You can also experience traditional Yariganna (Japanese Spear Shaped Plane) at a woodworking shop on the temple grounds.
