NARA is Japan's first real capital during the 7th century. Before this period, Japan had no permanent capital as with the passing of each emperor the capital would be moved in accordance with Shinto practice. My visit to Nara was a very short one. I was on a tour & as usual it was a rush & every stopover is just a location to snap a few photos & off you go again! However, one needs to be fluent in Japanese or at the very least be able to read some characters in Kanji to be able to get around in Japan! Due to this, my 1st two visits to Japan was on a tour. Subsequently, I've returned many times but not to Nara. So, the sites I managed to visit in Nara are still limited. Hope I'll have a chance to return one day!

I used to have a friend that lived near the "Deer Park" (Shika Koen)... Fond memories of Nara, mostly of drinking many a beer in a pub called "Rumours" there.... | annk Mon Mar 31, 2003 01:58 UTC
