What other travelers are saying about Kasuga Taisha Shrine
Went in just before sunset left in the dark; was a very pleasant visit and I got to take my time alone in the lantern room.. blessed place.
The park is powerful at night, the odd deer call at night can be a fun startle, while people are making their way through the dark park their silhouettes paint pictures for those who see them. It was so nice, I long to see this shrine again.
Thank you to the people of Japan for having such a rich history of preserving your cultural sites such as with Kasugataisha.For all those privileged to visit your fine country, we are blessed with the experiences that come of this.
I highly recommend visiting this historic temple, home to a majestic tree over a thousand years old, standing gracefully to the left of the shrine. The scenery is truly picturesque, making it a memorable and serene experience.
Kasuga Grand Shrine is a captivating sanctuary, illuminated by an enchanting display of lanterns. The shrine exudes a timeless atmosphere, almost as ancient as the majestic tree that gracefully stretches through one of its roofs. A private tour is highly recommended to explore some of the hidden gems, like the lanterns glowing in the dark, which adds a magical touch to the experience. The entire site radiates a deep sense of spirituality, making it a truly unforgettable visit.
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!
Kasugataisha Shrine lies above the slight hill at Nara Park. It blends spectacularly with the forest and has lots of deer, who act as the God’s messengers. You can get Goshuin stamps here and admire the beauty of the lanterns as well. Typical from this area.
