An area that stretches south of Sarusawa Pond and around Gangoji Temple. Nara has a history of more than 1,200 years, and here and there you can see the earthen walls of temples and shrines that have remained exactly as they were back then, as well as tiles and pillars that give you a sense of the passage of time. It's lined with cafes, galleries, second-hand bookstores, and miscellaneous goods stores built in repurposed old houses, making it perfect for a stroll for adults. There seem to be many residents, so it seems like a good place to enjoy the town quietly.

Nara Town is located south of Sarusawa Pond, around Gangoji Temple, and is located a little over 10 minutes from Kintetsu Nara Station and less than 20 minutes from JR Nara Station, and even if you take a light stroll, you can cross it in about an hour. It's a good walking course. The intersections may be straight or intricate, and the walls may be earthen walls or blocks. There are wooden doors and aluminum doors. There are mansions and modern houses, and it's a mix of things, but it's full of flavor and a sense of life, and you can enjoy it. Of course, there is no trash left, and the alleys and gardens have been sprinkled with water, and even the small potted plants have been taken care of, making them look lively. Nara has a history of over 1200 years. Looking at the earthen walls of the temples and shrines, which still have their original divisions, as well as the aged tiles and pillars, it has a character that sets it apart not only from Edo, but also from Kamakura and Kyoto. For some reason, Nara has an overwhelming dignity.

It has become a tourist spot, with cafes, general stores, clothing stores, and long-established restaurants that take advantage of the old townscape. Koshin-san will also be a place to worship at Gangoji Temple. It's a place with a nostalgic feel and sophisticated products, making it a great place to chill out and walk around.
