Traditional Japan “Kasuga Taisha” 2024.10.20

Kasuga Taisha, a symbol of the ancient capital Nara, welcomes you with a sacred atmosphere as you pass through the majestic South Gate. The beautifully painted red Middle Gate and the elegant corridors, which resemble a bird spreading its wings, are designated as National Treasures and Important Cultural Properties, showcasing stunning architecture. Thanks to the Shikinen Zotai, a reconstruction held every 20 years, the shrine is always beautifully maintained. Around 3,000 stone lanterns, dedicated since the Heian period, quietly stand throughout the grounds, creating an enchanting atmosphere. Why not refresh your body and soul while experiencing the tranquility and history of this ancient city?
