About location

Nara Prefecture has been a historic heartland of Japan since antiquity. Its northern basin centres on Nara, Japan’s capital from 710 to 794, where Tōdai-ji’s Great Buddha and the temple precincts of Nara Park recall the early Buddhist state. Southward, the land rises into the forested Yoshino Mountains, and the Yoshino River crosses this interior before becoming the Kinokawa in Wakayama. Yoshino is closely associated with spring cherry blossoms, while ancient pilgrimage routes traverse the southern mountains towards the sacred sites of the Kii Peninsula.

Among the countries of East Asia, Japan stands out for its volcanic archipelago, stretching from the cool north of Hokkaido to subtropical Okinawa. Mount Fuji, the nation’s highest mountain, rises above central Honshu, while the Pacific Ocean and the Seto Inland Sea have long shaped settlement, fishing and travel. Tokyo pairs dense urban life with major museums and neighbourhood traditions; Kyoto preserves temples, gardens and the legacy of Japan’s imperial court. Seasonal customs give journeys a changing rhythm, from spring cherry blossom viewing to autumn leaves. Regional cooking is equally varied, with sushi, ramen and local specialties reflecting coastlines, climate and agriculture.
