About
Celebrated for cultural significance as one of Japan’s ancient capitals, Nara is a place where the past comes alive. Major sights of interest include Todai-ji Temple, which houses the Great Buddha (Daibutsu), one of the largest bronze statues in the world. The prefecture is dotted with other historic temples and shrines, such as Kasuga Taisha, known for its thousands of lanterns, and the ancient Horyu-ji Temple, which holds some of the oldest wooden structures in the world. Nara’s traditional gardens, such as Isuien Garden, offer a glimpse into Japanese landscape design. Nara Park, which surrounds Todai-ji, is most famous for its hundreds of free-roaming deer that are considered sacred and add to the park's tranquil atmosphere. Not just a great place to visit, Nara is also an excellent place to live for its convenient placement in central-west Japan.

【About Kashiba City (奈良県香芝市)】
Located in northwest Nara Prefecture, Kashiba is a small suburban city with a relaxed atmosphere. Largely consisting of flat farmland, it is an easy area to navigate the urban center by car due to its grid-like layout, which is common throughout this region. Among the local attractions in the area are Donzurubo,a geological curiosity of folded limestone that allows for some spectacular views. There's also Kitsui Shiroyama Tomb, the keyhole-shaped tumulus believed to have been built around the 5th-6th centuries. One of the most unusual and charming sights in Kashiba is a small hut along Naga Pond where a family of sheep are maintained. Make Kashiba your next teaching destination today!
