[Oct 1–12] Additional Admission Tickets Released! Visits After 3:00pm Recommended

To allow more visitors to experience this historic space this autumn, additional admission tickets for entry between 2:00pm and 4:00pm are now available for the period from Oct 1 to Oct 12.

For those who wish to enjoy a quieter experience and explore at their own pace, entry after 3:00pm is recommended.
For access, the direct bus departing from JR Nara Station at 2:30pm or Kintetsu Nara Station at 2:37pm is convenient. (Click here for access details)

After 15:00, the crowds gradually thin out, allowing for a more relaxed tour. The late afternoon sun begins to cast its warm glow, giving the red brick structure an even more nostalgic charm—a unique highlight of this time of day. We invite you to step away from daily life and immerse yourself in this historic setting.
