Whether it's because of their cultural importance, beautiful design or long history, temples usually feature on the itineraries of many travelers. Goko-in Temple is a well-known religious site you shouldn't miss.

Goko-in Temple is the perfect place to begin your discovery of Nara. This place of worship is recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Pencil in time for other sights like Todaiji Temple, Nara Park, and Kasuga Shrine to really experience what the area has to offer.
