This facility is a boarding area for group buses, not a parking lot for buses or passenger vehicles.
The history of Nara Park begins on February 14, 1897. The park was designated as a national scenic spot in 1918, and, in 1998, Kasuga Taisha Shrine, Kofukuji Temple, Todaiji Temple, Kasugayama Primeval Forest, etc. were all registered as World Heritage Sites (known collectively as the "Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara") and represent Japan. The park is also widely known and is visited by many people from all over the world.
On the other hand, the number of sightseeing buses and private cars has increased, especially during the holiday season, and traffic congestion around Nara Park has become a problem.
In the prefecture, a bus terminal has been constructed on the east side of the Prefectural Government Building to control the influx of tourist buses into the center of the park, as well as "Park & Ride" services around the Heijo Palace site and JR Nara Station and "Gurutto Bus" services to control the influx of private cars and make Nara Park a more comfortable place for visitors to touring around the park.
You can find useful information such as a walking map of Nara Park, as well as flyers and brochures about events and tourist information held in the prefecture.
In addition, we are exhibiting a diorama that recreates Nara Park and its surroundings, which have nurtured history, on a precise scale.
You can easily learn about the challenges of humans and deer coexisting and how to interact with them correctly.
There is also an exhibit about the Kasugayama Primeval Forest, a World Heritage Site and Special Natural Monument located on the east side of Nara Park.
Lecture Hall equipped with full-scale video equipment with a capacity of 300 people.
