Forest Walk in Kasuga Mountain's Primeval Forest - A World Heritage Site

Kasuga Mountain Primeval Forest is a precious natural forest that has been protected from logging for over 1,000 years as the sacred mountain of Kasuga Grand Shrine, and is part of the World Heritage site 'Cultural Heritage of Ancient Nara.' Hiking courses ranging from about 30 minutes to 2 hours are maintained, and you can walk through a primeval forest thick with ancient giant cedars, firs, and camphor trees. A primeval forest accessible on foot from the city is rare even worldwide, offering a unique opportunity to experience the coexistence of urban and natural environments.
