We recommend taking a photo snuggled up to the trunk of a giant tree. You're sure to capture a photo full of emotion, blending nature and history.

Gourmet and souvenirs to experience Nara's culture

At the end of your sightseeing, why not enjoy Nara's unique gourmet food? Anda-cho has traditional Japanese confectionery shops using natural ingredients, as well as famous tofu restaurants.

We also recommend it as a souvenir. One of Japan's three major somen noodles, "Sasada Somen," is a specialty of Anda-cho. The noodles are thin and difficult to handle, but their taste is exceptional.
