Unesco World Heritage Site<\/h3>\n

Kusaga Taisha Shrine is located in the west of Nara Deer Park<\/a>, very close to Todaiji Temple. It is a Unesco World Heritage site together with the Nearby Kusagayama Primeval Forest, an untouched forest for over 1,000years.<\/p>\n

\"Kusaga<\/p>\n

If you are exploring Nara Deer Park, you have to include Kusaga Taisha as it is one of the important and historical shrines not only in Nara but the whole of Japan.\u00a0 People who visit Nara deer park<\/a> will usually include Kusaga Taisha Shrine and Todaiji Temple for a day trip, minimum of 6 hours in this area.<\/p>\n

\"Kusaga<\/p>\n

Thousands of lanterns Line Up<\/h3>\n

Kusaga Taisha is famous for the thousands of bronze and stone lanterns that line the shrine’s halls and path. Each of the lanterns represents a donation to the shrine.\u00a0 Some are stone lanterns with green moss (as above) aged over a few hundred years old.<\/p>\n

\"Kusaga<\/p>\n

Kusaga Taisha & The Deer<\/h3>\n

It is believed that the sacred deer serve the Shinto deities of Kusaga Taisha Shrine.\u00a0 Legend says that the Kusaga Taisha god rode on the white deer.<\/p>\n

Visitors are washing up at the Deer Fountain\/Chozuya before entering Kusaga Taisha Shrine. Chozuya also was known as temizuya, a place for you to wash before praying.\u00a0 Worshipper washes their hands and mouth.\u00a0 Do not drink the water.<\/p>\n

\"Kusaga<\/p>\n

Main Shrine<\/h3>\n

There are several small shrines in Kusaga Taisha and one you should not miss is the main shrine which cost 500 yen to enter.<\/p>\n

\"Kusaga<\/p>\n

Wooden Plague or “Ema”\u00a0\u7d75\u99ac<\/h3>\n

Wooden Plague also was known as “Ema” can be seen in most Shinto Shrines in Japan. The Ema wooden plague here can be seen with the shape of the deer.\u00a0\u00a0Write down your wishes and when “Kamisama” or God in English read it, your wishes will be granted.<\/p>\n

\"Kusaga<\/p>\n

At the entrance to the main shrine<\/h3>\n

This is at the entrance of the Hondo or main shrine.\u00a0 The number of tourists visiting this place is pretty scary.<\/p>\n

\"Kusaga<\/p>\n

Main Shrine of Kusaga Taisha<\/h3>\n

There are 4 Deities enshrined at Kusaga Taisha, known as the Great Deities of Kusaga are enshrined respectively in their own splendid Kusaga style altars.\u00a0 The Deities’ names are so long so I don’t bother to tell you here.\u00a0 The first three end with “mikoto” which means god or goddess or highness.\u00a0 The last one does not have “mikoto at the ending.<\/p>\n

\"Kusaga<\/p>\n

Look for 1000 years old Japanese Cedar Tree –\u00a0Honsha-osugi<\/h3>\n

Once you entered the main shrine, you will notice a huge giant tree next to the Hondo or the main building. That’s the 1000 years old tree. It is quite impressive to see the thousand years old sacred tree here.<\/p>\n

\"Kusaga<\/p>\n

The Gold & Bronze Lantern<\/h3>\n

A blend of gold and bronze lanterns line up the path and this is the best spot to shoot photos of Kusaga Taisha.\u00a0 I would say one of the icons in Kusaga Taisha.\u00a0 The greenish bronze lanterns are the older version and the golden lanterns are the more recent one.\u00a0 Equally beautiful.<\/p>\n

\"Kusaga<\/p>\n

Fujinami-no-ya Hall, the Dark Lantern Room<\/h3>\n

At the back of the main shrine, there is a dark room called Fujinami-no-ya which fills with many lit up lanterns. It was once used as a study area for priests but now hang with many lit up lanterns and open to the public. Go experience the\u00a0mystic atmosphere, can be quite eerie.\u00a0 Warn you.<\/p>\n

\"Kusaga<\/p>\n

Toro also knows as Lantern in Japanese<\/h3>\n

Toro is the traditional lantern made of stone, wood or metal.<\/p>\n

\"Kusaga<\/p>\n

The donor of the lantern<\/h3>\n

The name of the donor is inscribed in the lantern.\u00a0 This one was donated by Toyota Corolla Nara company.<\/p>\n

\"Kusaga<\/p>\n

Stone Lantern<\/h3>\n

Walking to other little shrines around Kusaga Taisha Shrine. 2000-3000 lanterns in this area. The outdoor stone lanterns\u00a0are cover with green moss.<\/p>\n

\"Kusaga<\/p>\n

Meoto Daikokusha Shrine<\/h3>\n

Meoto Daikokusha is a sub-shrine near Kusaga Taisha, which is popular among couples which wish for a happy marriage.\u00a0 The “ema” wooden plague in this shrine is with the heart shape.\u00a0 Couples pray for long lasting relationship and single pray for love and find their Mr or Mrs Right.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Deer in Kusagayama Primeval Forest<\/h3>\n

Deer in Kusagayama Primeval Forest is timid and they don’t dare to come too close to human.\u00a0 They are not as brave as the one near Nara Park. Still very tame.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Japanese students and their lovely uniform<\/h3>\n

Don’t you think the Japanese student Uniforms are so cute, with distinctive sailor outfit? Girls wear skirts even in cold winter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kusaga Taisha Museum<\/h3>\n

There is a small museum displaying part of history and artifact of Japanese heritage.\u00a0 If you are interested, don’t forget to go in.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Omiyage shop<\/h3>\n

At the entrance of the museum, are the omiyage or souvenirs counter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Deer with antler are more aggressive<\/h3>\n

These older deer look fierce, just look at their eyes.\u00a0 And they have antler too.\u00a0 Beware of deer with antlers but most of the antlers are already cut.\u00a0 This is to prevent the deer\u00a0kickbutt\u00a0at visitors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Final thoughts:<\/h3>\n

Kusaga Taisha Shrine is the Unesco site in Nara, the shrine\u00a0is famous for its thousand lanterns.\u00a0 You will still see deer roaming around in Kusaga Taisha.\u00a0 The nearby attraction is Nara Deer Park<\/a> and Todaiji Temple. You can spend the whole day in this area.<\/p>\n
