Nara was Japan's first permanent capital, and its parks and temple precincts still carry the weight of 1,300 years of history. More than 1,200 sacred deer roam freely through Nara Park, and the Great Buddha hall of Todai-ji remains one of the world's largest wooden structures. Staying overnight lets you experience the park's magical early-morning quiet before the day-trippers arrive from Osaka and Kyoto.
