Japan's first permanent capital (710-794 CE), Nara is home to Todai-ji Temple, which houses the world's largest bronze Buddha statue inside the largest wooden structure on Earth. Over 1,200 free-roaming sika deer wander Nara Park, considered sacred messengers of the gods, alongside 8 UNESCO World Heritage properties.
