In the summer of 20 15, I swam to the ancient city of Nara in order to get rid of a sad thing.
Strolling the streets, interesting cafes, different styles of old bookstores, vast virgin forests, quiet temples and shrines, exquisite flower shops, intimate 800 houses … and, of course, Nara Park, a paradise for lively deer!
