Introducing just a few

The charm of Keihanna

Keihanna Science City is a treasure trove of historical and cultural assets surrounded by a rich natural environment.
If you come to the Keihanna Expo, please take this opportunity to enjoy sightseeing in the surrounding area.

Keihanna Commemorative Park

It was established to commemorate the establishment of Keihanna Science City. You can enjoy the Japanese garden, the scenery of Japanese countryside, the terraced rice field, and the carp feeding area (some areas have a fee).
Approximately 400 species of plants, 70 species of birds, and more than 50 species of insects, including butterflies alone, live on a vast site the size of more than 5 Tokyo Domes, and you may even encounter raccoon dogs and wild rabbits…
Enjoy seasonal flowers such as cherry blossoms in spring, azaleas and hydrangeas in early summer, and autumn leaves in autumn. There are many events that parents and children can enjoy, such as moon viewing parties, concerts, insect collecting, starry sky/science experience events, etc. This is a park full of things to see.

Shijo Nawate Shrine

This is a shrine whose main deity is Masayuki Kusunoki, who was killed in the Battle of Shijonawate. Local residents have been affectionately calling it Nanko-san” since ancient times, and there is even a place name calledNanko.”
It is a relatively new shrine, having been built in 1899, but it is said that when the imperial permission was granted, everyone happily participated in the construction. The torii gate in front of the main shrine was a gift from Ise Grand Shrine on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the shrine’s enshrinement in 1990.
As you go down the approach, you will find the Shijonawate Shopping Association, which retains the retro atmosphere of the downtown area. In addition, behind the shrine is Mt. Iimori, which has a well-maintained hiking course, and you can see the stone walls from that time at the Iimoriyama Castle ruins.

Heijo Palace ruins

Heijo Palace Ruins Historical Park is a national park that was registered as a World Heritage Site in December 1998 as a “cultural property of ancient Nara.” Restoration work is still underway. Today, the Suzakumon Gate, which was the gateway to the capital, the envoys sent to Tang, the Imperial Palace (the residence of the emperor), and the ruins of the Imperial Household Office have all been restored. At the Heijo Palace Izanai-kan located in Suzakumon Square, you can see excavated tiles and wooden tablets, building models, aerial photographs, diorama models, and more.
There are many ways to have fun, such as wearing rental costumes and pretending to be a court official from the time, enjoying lunch made with local Nara ingredients, and purchasing locally made souvenirs. In addition to walking, we recommend getting around the large park by renting a bicycle.
