What other travelers are saying about Kasuga Taisha Shrine
Walking into Kasugataisha Shrine felt like a little escape. The stone lanterns, covered in moss, lined the path like they were whispering stories from centuries ago—super cool with deer just chilling nearby. The bright red-orange buildings popped against the trees, and I couldn’t stop snapping pics
Went in just before sunset left in the dark; was a very pleasant visit and I got to take my time alone in the lantern room.. blessed place.
The park is powerful at night, the odd deer call at night can be a fun startle, while people are making their way through the dark park their silhouettes paint pictures for those who see them. It was so nice, I long to see this shrine again.
Thank you to the people of Japan for having such a rich history of preserving your cultural sites such as with Kasugataisha.For all those privileged to visit your fine country, we are blessed with the experiences that come of this.
Beautiful temple in the Nara park area with many lanterns and a room in the dark where you can enjoy their light. There is also the chance to have your handwritten stamp if you are collecting these. There are some steps to reach the top but overall worth it
I highly recommend visiting this historic temple, home to a majestic tree over a thousand years old, standing gracefully to the left of the shrine. The scenery is truly picturesque, making it a memorable and serene experience.
Very pretty path through the woods dotted with deer and even a raven. Did not go inside the inner shrine, as it didn't appear to be free to enter. We explored the exterior and wandered the paths. We took a less traveled back trail to get to a tiny local restaurant instead of back out the path we came.
