Whatever the faith or whoever they're devoted to, shrines have a way of making you reflect. Check out Kojindo and share a peaceful moment with the locals.

Kojindo is the perfect place to begin your discovery of Naramachi. This sacred place 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 fully appreciate what the area has to offer.
