"Expats in Nara often appreciate the city's rich history and cultural heritage, as it was once the ancient capital of Japan. They admire the well-preserved temples and shrines, including the famous Todai-ji Temple, which houses a giant Buddha statue. They also appreciate the local festivals and traditional ceremonies that take place throughout the year, providing a glimpse into the city's traditions and customs. The local cuisine is another aspect that expats enjoy, with Nara being known for its unique dishes such as kakinoha-zushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) and chagayu (rice porridge with tea). Expats also value the city's close-knit community and the warm hospitality of the locals. They find the people of Nara to be polite, respectful, and always willing to help, making it easier for them to settle in and feel at home. The city's natural beauty, with its scenic parks and wild deer roaming freely, is another aspect that expats in Nara appreciate. They enjoy the peaceful and relaxed pace of life, which provides a welcome contrast to the hustle and bustle of larger cities. Finally, expats appreciate the city's commitment to preserving its environment and promoting sustainability, evident in its well-maintained parks and green spaces," wrote a member who made the move to Nara, Japan.
