    Todai-ji Temple, and Kasuga Taisha Shrine near the toshodai-ji Temple of Yakushi-ji Temple, but not for the calm down area itself. Be prepared to wait and just food and beverage outlets, and even less so in this area get to lunch.

Where to stay in Nara

©
The historic city of Nara has a welcome number of accommodations for an urban area of its importance and popularity. Close to the main train station stand the main high-rise hotels in the city, all towering over the commercial and modern district that greets train travelers on arrival. To the east, things get a little more luxurious, with hotels close to Nara Park particularly well-appointed and rich in additional facilities. Standard hotels stand in a cluster to the southeast of the old palace ruins, while a number of pleasant, no-frills guesthouses can be found in the residential suburbs.
