    Hasedera Temple

    Hasedera Temple is a large mountainside temple in Sakurai, known as the “Temple of Flowers.” Guests walk up its famous covered staircase toward panoramic valley views and a beautiful main hall. Seasonal scenery is a highlight: peonies in late spring, hydrangeas in early summer, cherry blossoms, and vivid autumn colors. The spacious grounds, five‑story pagoda, and calm atmosphere make it one of Nara’s most scenic and photogenic temple visits.

    Soni Highlands Onsen (Okame‑no‑Yu) is a popular hot spring near the Soni grasslands, known for its open‑air baths with panoramic mountain views. The sodium‑bicarbonate spring water is praised for its smooth, skin‑softening feel, and guests can relax in either the stone or wood bath areas, which alternate weekly between men and women. The facility offers indoor and outdoor baths, a sauna, local cuisine, and easy access from Soni Kogen Farm Garden.
