Nara is the birthplace of Japan's civilization, and for this reason, there is an era known as the 'Nara Period'. As the final destination of the Silk Road, a colourful international culture flourished here in the regin of Emperor Tempyou. Many historical treasures were made at this time. Nara was unusal in that wild deer were allowed to roam the streets. They were though of as messengers of the gods, and highly prized.
There are many must-see examples of historic architecture in Nara prefecture, such as Horyuji Temple (a world heritage site).
Around the picturesque strees of old Nara, or 'Naramachi' you will see many soft toy red monkeys. These are considered to be a protective charm.
There are also many bars and cafes to enjoy around the Naramachi area.
