Nara, my hometown, is the ancient capital of Japan (i.e. 1500 years ago) located in south of Kyoto and east of Osaka which is the second largest city in Japan. The most interesting spot for tourlists would be Nara park that is home to hundreds of freely roaming deer. Deer, themselves officially protected as National Treasures and regarded as messengers of the gods by Shinto. Nara has three UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Tōdai-ji temple. Tōdai-ji (東大寺), the Eastern Great Temple, is the largest wooden building in the world, and houses a giant statue of the Buddha.
