Exploring Nara’s Hidden Gems & Temples | 3-Day Trip 🏯

I used to think Nara was only known for deers and temples but every time I go back there's something new to discover! On this trip I tried to visit lesser known areas of Nara. From the forest temple of Hōzan-ji in Ikoma to quiet corners of Nara City and the mountain temple of Hasedera. If you've also done all the main areas of Nara and looking for something new to add to your itinerary, I hope this gives you ideas :)
