Sake and Grass Pot Night Out in Nara with Anime Model
Naramachi, a historic merchant district in Nara, Japan, is renowned for its traditional machiya townhouses and rich cultural heritage. Once part of Gangoji Temple, this area transformed into a thriving merchant hub in the 15th century. Today, it's a charming blend of history and modernity, with old machiya serving as museums, boutiques, cafes, and eateries. Unique to Naramachi are the 'migawarisaru' or scapegoat monkeys, symbolic silk amulets believed to protect residents. Visitors can explore various crafts, sweets shops, and the famous Harushika Sake Brewery. Easily accessible on foot, Naramachi offers a serene experience, showcasing Nara's historical charm.
