Kasuga Shrine in Nara

I went to Nara on the clear day during the rainy season. It doesn't take more than one hour to Nara from Kyoto in Kintetsu Railways (610 yen in one way) and a day trip can be easily done.

Kasuga Shrine was my first destination, and a deer greeted me when I got off the bus. Deers are considered god's messengers.

The Shrine's washing basin is also a deer.

Kansai district had heavy rain on the previous day, but it stopped raining in the morning. The precincts of the Shrine had a dreamy atmosphere with mist after the rain and was very beautiful.
