What other travelers are saying about Heijo Palace Site
Not much of an attraction for sightseeing. I recommend taking a bike and going around the site and spending 15 minutes here. The railroad actually cuts the site in 2, but it's otherwise just a vast expanse of gravel and grass that I assume the locals just use as a normal park. The information center has more going for it such as exhibitions and learning resources for children. On the plus side, there's no entrance tickets needed for anything.
Heijo Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Nara, offers a fascinating journey into Japan’s ancient capital during the Nara period. The reconstructed buildings, including the grand Daigokuden Hall, give you a sense of the scale and significance of this historic site.
The park's open spaces and well-maintained paths are perfect for exploring, and the on-site museum provides fascinating insights into the history and significance of the palace. Seasonal events and cultural activities make each visit unique.
The expansive grounds are peaceful and ideal for a leisurely stroll, with informative exhibits that provide insights into Nara’s history and culture. Visiting during special events or festivals adds even more charm. A must-visit for history buffs and anyone interested in Japan’s rich heritage!
Stunning historical site - oozing positive energy of past Imperial playground - beautifully maintained and the perfect place to go for a stroll, run or simply connect with 1,400 years of history!
Its very large and peaceful. It is still in reconstruction and restoration. Nice to visit and see how they build the palace. Absolutely complicated, they are really master of wood. They also have food, coffee and souvenirs shops.
It's a nice place if you are interested in the process of archeology and restoration. To the typical tourist it may be quite boring as it is a very big place with landmarks spread very far apart.
