Nara was the first capital of Japan. There are loads of georgous temples here...with their terrible guardians :
The Tōdai-ji is one of the oldest buddhist temple of the city and is the largest wooden building in the world!
Inside it there is a huge 15 meters high and 500 tonnes bronze buddha statue, massive! Funny fact: There is a hole inside one of the wood columns of the temple, its meant to be good luck if you manage to squeeze and to crawl all the way to the other side of the hole 
We played with deer again, they were hungry for biscuits! and they follow you as a group everywhere:) Run fools!
We had Shabu-Shabu, its a japanese fondue with beef and vegetable. It's so good, you cook your meet and veggies in hot water and here you go! We were looked at by old grannies in the restaurant, waiting for us to make a mistake
that was really funny. But we managed to look not so stupid! Oishi Desu!
We stayed in a classic japanese Ryokan (Matsumae)
