It was my first time going to Mt. Takao, and getting this 1-day pass made everything so much easier and saved me money!

Kasugataisha Shrine

Kasugataisha Shrine is said to have originated in the early Nara period, when Takemikazuchi-no-mikoto descended from Kashima in Ibaraki Prefecture to Mt. Mikasa riding a sacred deer to protect Heijo-kyo and ensure the nation’s prosperity. In 768, the Main Sanctuary was built at the foot of Mt. Mikasa to enshrine four deities: Takemikazuchi-no-mikoto, Futsunushi-no-mikoto, Amenokoyane-no-mikoto, and Himegami.

The deer here seem a bit pitiful since hardly anyone feeds them.

Otowa-san Kiyomizu-dera Temple

Founded in 778, Kiyomizu-dera Temple was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994. Its 130,000-square-meter (about 1.4-million-square-foot) grounds extend across the slopes of Mt. Otowa and contain more than 30 temple buildings and monuments, including National Treasures and Important Cultural Properties. The temple is also worth seeing throughout the seasons, framed by cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, colorful leaves in autumn, and snow in winter.

I've been here many times with tour groups, but the visits are always too short. Next time, I want to plan a free day to really enjoy it! 😁

Crocodiles, lizards, turtles—this zoo is all about reptiles! There's also a hands-on area, which makes it really interesting!

It was a place that flourished as the capital of Japan when the imperial palace was moved to Heijo-Kyo in 710. It is said that more than 100,000 people lived in the large-scale capital of about 2,500 ha, which was modeled on Changan, the capital of Tang.

Aside from the main hall, most of the site is still under construction—it's mostly just bare earth. There's not much to see, so I wouldn't recommend visiting.
