Day 65
Nara
Distance:38km
A day of superlatives: first capital, biggest buddha, oldest temple, world's biggest wooden building and its oldest ones too. Everything's a National Trearure here, even the 1200 deer that roam Nara Park to the delight of the 1000s of children here on school trips. Camping next to a hill (turns out to be an ancient tomb, too commonplace to warrant a sign) and a number of houses. Suspicious glances from the locals soon turned to a warm welcome of tea, rice balls and takoyaki.
