We spent the morning in Nara Park, surrounded by deer and the overwhelming scale of the Todai-ji Temple. By evening, we reached Osaka. Walking through the bright, colorful districts here exceeded every expectation... The food, the lights, and the vibe are just incredible. #Japan#NaraPark#Todaiji#Day9
Lanterns at Nigatsu-dō 二月堂, where a few years later I would happen to be there again with friends on the night of the Shuni-e 修二会, a ceremony which has been taking place annually for over 1200 years.
