Another side of Nara, Japan | Day trips to Ikoma & Hasedera, Hidden Gems, Temples | 3 day Itinerary

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 :) Time stamp: 0:48 Day trip to Ikoma 1:34 Cat cable car up to Mt Ikoma 2:51 Walk around empty town 5:25 Exploring Hōzan-ji 10:57 Hidden gems in Nara city 12:54 Mount Wakakusa viewpoint 16:50 Mochi pounding at Nakatanidou 19:23 Match in Japanese Tea house 21:18 Best sunset view atTodai-ji Nigatsu-do 23:35 Sorairo Coffee (local cafe) 25:46 Traditional town in Hasadera 28:27 Hasedera Temple Hydrangeas display Filmed in late June – hydrangea season!
