Next stop: A Summer Festival Where Drums and Vibrant Dance Brighten Nara's Historic StreetsAbout this spot
The main thoroughfare running from Kofuku-ji toward JR and Kintetsu Nara Stations, known as a bustling, lively shopping street lined with souvenir shops and restaurants. Finishing an early dinner here before heading to JR Nara Station's festival venue allows you to avoid evening crowds and smoothly transition to the festival.
Tips
Within walking distance from Nara-machi. Evening crowds pick up with festival-goers; early evening visits are recommended.
Best time to visit
Approximately 45 minutes. Quieter hours before the festival begins are easier for dining.
