Established in 768 CE and reconstructed multiple times over the centuries, it is dedicated to the deities responsible for Nara’s protection and prosperity.

Nestled within the sacred forest of Kasugayama and near Nara Deer Park, Kasuga Taisha elegantly combines nature, history, and traditional Japanese spirituality.

As part of the “Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara,” Kōfuku-ji is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a symbol of Nara’s rich cultural legacy.
