Google Maps reviews of this place
Reviews posted by visitors on Google Maps.
Impresionante y más si vas a Nara es de visita obligada.
Si vas esperando un gran palacio es el lugar erróneo ya que solo queda una puerta y una porción del mismo . El museo que hay en el lugar si es algo digno de visitar
Ves una puerta, y una salida. Fin del palacio resumido. Decepción recorrerse todo Nara para ver un vacío, no recomendado si tienes poco tiempo de visita
