Nara: Day 1
In the morning, I went to a coffee shop called Aka Tombo, meaning the red dragonfly. The owners are a Japanese/Australian couple. Their daughter was going to school in Osaka so they moved from Australia to Japan and opened a coffee shop. I enjoyed their matcha cappuccino and egg sandwich. The owner suggested a walking route that I should do in Nara Park. I followed it to Kasuga Taisha, where the stone lanterns lined the paths, Todai-ji Nigatsudo to get a good view of Nara, and Yoshikien Garden.
