Mount Wakakusa Tours

Mount Wakakusa
It's no secret that spending a couple of hours surrounded by greenery can boost your energy levels. If walking around town has worn you out, Mount Wakakusa is a perfect place to stop and recharge your batteries.

Mount Wakakusa is a great place to start out your day in Nara. This recreation and green space comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Allow time for other attractions like Todaiji Temple, Nara Park, and Kasuga Shrine to really enjoy what the area has to offer.

8/10 Very Good! (158 reviews)
This hotel is in an apartment building, floors 4-8. We booked this hotel because we were looking for a location semi near the Itami airport for an early morning flight. Unfortunately, this hotel is in a NO taxi pick up area!!! Something we really wish we knew before booking.
