Amazing Restaurants to Visit on a Sightseeing Date Around Nara

In an all-too-distant past, the capital of Japan - Heijo - was situated in modern-day Nara Prefecture.  As the final destination of the Silk Road, the prefecture enjoyed a period of prosperity and culture, from which a large number of structures remain. Boasting one of the highest concentrations of protected national treasures in a prefecture, as well as easy access for visitors, the area is a much-loved travel destination. Not too far from the station, you can find many restaurants that are perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing, or an evening date.
