Night City View from Mt. Wakakusa

The Nara Park is the most popular place to visit in Nara. On the east side of the Nara Park, Mt. Wakakusa is located.

Mt. Wakakusa is only 342 meters high above sea level, whole of which is covered green lawn. From the top of the mountain you can get a view of Nara city. You can even find buildings of the World Heritage sites. You can see some deer there, too.

It’s wonderful to see the sun going down from the top of the mountain but the night view is also fantastic.
