Walking around Nara with Muslims!

Writer：NARA Halal.com
All of us really enjoyed walk around Nara city on that day.8Japanese, 5 Indonesian, 1 Egyptian (8 Muslims) joined

Thank you all for joining!

We visited to Kasuga Taisya shrine(春日大社), Nigatsu do Temple (二月堂) Todaiji Temple (東大寺).

We all surprised that Nara city has so many Shrines and Temples and why.

And what’s a difference between Shrine and Temple, Why Nara has so many deer (Now 3000++ wild deer is there) …..etc
Then tour guide students told us why and we understand it!
Some of our participants gave us feedbacks…

Had a great time visiting the most famous places of Nara such as Daibutsu, (Buddha) Kasuga shrine, and Nigatsu-dou temple! The tour guide gave us a very informative explanation about the historical background of each places, and that made it way better than just visiting Nara on our own.
Despite the bad weather, it was fun walking around the relaxing atmosphere of Nara, and what made it more awesome was the halal ramen we treated ourselves to at the end of the tour! It was a great visit!
