Here is a quick summary about what we are going to walk and explore during these 8 hours.

- Taima-dera
Taima-dera was found in 612 by Imperial Prince Maroko, brother of the famous Prince Shotoku, while all the towns in the neighbourhood were used as capitale of Japan one after the other. The main object of veneration is Yakushi, the healing Buddha but the main attraction is the Taima Mandala, image of the paradise of the Pure Land.

- Taimadera Street
We already walked on Taimadera street. It remained traditional while getting modern. We can visit it between Taima-dera and Kehayaza sumo museum. Souvenirs for you!

- Kehayaza Sumo Museum
Sumo, Japanese wrestling, is today recognized as a side of the Japanese culture but few are the people who really knows it. It is in Nara, Katsuragi City, Taima district that Sumo is born. Visiting Katsuragi is the occasion to know more about this sport in Kehayaza Sumo Museum.

- Japanese sweets and souvenirs
Chujodo Honpo: after effort comes comfort. After experimenting Sumo, we can go to rest and to eat some delicious chujo mochi, red bean paste on rice paste, the local specialty, in Chujodo Honpo, on our way back. The very good pastry shop can be found in this traditional Japanese street in front of the station before setting off again for new adventures.
