Kasuga Taisha in Nara is a centuries‑old Shinto shrine founded by the Fujiwara family in 768 CE, its buildings lovingly rebuilt over time. Inside, rows of hanging bronze lanterns and a long approach lined with stone lanterns create a quiet, almost otherworldly atmosphere perfect for slow wandering and photos.
