    Mount Wakakusa (Wakakusayama) rises 342 m at the eastern edge of Nara Park. It is located between Todaiji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine.

    Mount Wakakusa is open to the public from March to December and offers an excellent view of the city from the observation deck.

      When climbing Mount Wakakusa, you should definitely follow the signposted path. An alternative route via a byway quickly led to difficult terrain. The view at the end was really great and compensated for all the hardships.

        Take the time to climb Mount Wakakusa which peaks at 342 m. It offers breathtaking views of Nara! And you will enjoy the deer just as much in a splendid natural setting.
