What other travelers are saying about Kasuga Taisha Shrine
Such a powerful place that will connect with your soul. Dramatic? Yes. True? Yes!
I strongly recommend you visit the main temple and spend time going through it all. It is all of the old Japanese tradition you will feel here.
An added bonus is the deer that peek through the lanterns!
Very pretty path through the woods dotted with deer and even a raven. Did not go inside the inner shrine, as it didn't appear to be free to enter. We explored the exterior and wandered the paths. We took a less traveled back trail to get to a tiny local restaurant instead of back out the path we came.
We did not visit the inner shrine because it was too crowded, but overall, it was a good experience. You can enjoy walking in the forest with a lot of deer along the way, and there are many great spots for taking photos even outside the shrine. Definitely a must visit place. 10/10
World heritage shrine located in Nara park. Recommend time to visit is spring, since there are lot of wisteria trees around.
Famous for beautiful lanterns. Dark room with lighten up lanterns are very beautiful. No real rush comparing to Toji temple.
A beautiful shrine inside the nature forest, to reach this shrine, have to walk deep into the Nara park or take private car or bus. Here full of lantern and deer, the shrine need to pay for entry. Along the way also got many deers
