Start by visiting Kōfuku-ji temple. It's a historically significant temple in Nara, Japan, is renowned for its stunning five-story pagoda and ancient wooden structures. Established in 710 AD, it serves as a testament to the architectural and cultural legacy of the Nara period, attracting visitors with its serene beauty and rich heritage.

After that go straight to the main Nara park. It's free and massive - buy food for animals at the beggining of the park in advance, because as you go deeper no shops would be found.
