✓ Nara Goldfish Museum The highlight is here! The glamorous, extravagant, lively, and photogenic "Nara Goldfish" exhibition is located on the 4th floor of the bustling M! Nara shopping center. I saw a similar exhibition in Tokyo's Ginza a few years ago. Compared to the stylish and understated Ginza goldfish display, Nara's goldfish exhibition combines modern techniques with traditional culture to create a festive and joyful atmosphere. The visual experience is dazzling, almost like attending a jewelry light sculpture show! The design is also more family-friendly, making it a fun experience for both adults and children. M! Nara seems to be a popular local shopping mall in Nara, offering plenty of family entertainment facilities and an incredibly affordable supermarket. It's truly a one-stop shopping destination. Initially, I just wanted to browse around, but I ended up buying tons of snacks and cosmetics because the prices were even cheaper than in Kyoto, Osaka, or Nagoya!

#cityplaybook Nara is often known for its deer and temples, but step a little off the beaten path and you’ll find a calm, spacious side of the city that’s perfect for slowing down. I started the day at Heijo Palace Historical Park, a wide open space filled with history and fresh air. Strolling around the old palace grounds was both peaceful and inspiring. The highlight here is the Daigokuden Hall, an impressive reconstruction of Nara’s ancient imperial hall. Standing before it, I felt like I had traveled back in time. To cool off, I headed to the Kingyo Museum (Goldfish Museum) — a playful and artistic space filled with beautifully lit aquariums. It’s refreshing, especially in the summer! Why I recommend Nara for a slow day: ・You can enjoy wide open parks and historic architecture without the crowds ・Unexpected spots like the goldfish museum make it fun and unique! 📍Nara City, Nara Prefecture, Japan #NaraDayTrip #HeijoPalace #Daigokuden #KingyoMuseum #SlowTravelJapan #CulturalEscape #HiddenJapan #CityPlaybook

#springwander One of the largest goldfish museums in Japan was born in Nara Prefecture, which is known as one of the leading goldfish production areas in Japan. In the tourist-type commercial complex "Mi Nara", you can enjoy the cutting-edge "entertainment aquarium" by up-and-coming artists. The number and size of goldfish in the facility, which was renewed in 2021, has been scaled up twice as much as before. The world's first diamond-cut aquarium was added with stained glass and mirror balls.

I was drawn to the art more than the goldfish!! I like it better than Atoa or Nifrel!! There were quite a few foreigners there too. I'd like to go there again when I go to Nara! I also recommend it for a date♡

If you're thinking about where to go on your trip to Nara, be sure to stop by! It's located on the upper floors of a commercial building, and I was a little worried about the satisfaction level at first, but by the time I left, it was cheap! A hidden gem! Fun! For just 1,300 yen, this museum is a great deal, and you can see the works of popular artists in Tokyo, including Mirror Baller. There's also a fun floor for kids, such as trick art, and a photo spot that will satisfy even those who love to take pictures! Even those who just love goldfish can enjoy the goldfish in various display methods. The souvenir shop has a wide variety of goldfish key charms, which should be irresistible for enthusiasts! You can also make souvenirs with original goods with sophisticated and stylish designs, such as stickers. Make a wish on a heart-shaped votive tablet. There's also a water fortune telling...It's also recommended as a date spot! #DomesticTravel #Tourism #NaraTrip #NaraGoldfishMuseum #GoldfishMuseum #Nara #naratrip #MirrorBaller #EndoAyumi #0YenTripFebruary2025
