Great place with good amount of translation! I am excited to see the South gate been open on 2022 in March! Would love to potentially have some walking guides going to even show some archaeological or historical backgrounds as well!

No building surrounding, they are left alone as is. I imagine what old palace life would be. I only walked main street. I will go back and see the side road and museums.

The palace still under construction, it may take years to complete. Now, only the main block was built. Area near by are quite remote.

Under construction and reform... it may take about 30 years to get it done. Parking and visit free of charge. Vaste area, people playing, running and having relaxing time.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Heijō Palace Site Historical Park during my trip to Japan, and I must say, it was a truly enlightening experience. Nestled in the heart of Nara, this historical site offers a captivating glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage. The small museum located within the park serves as a perfect complement to the archeological site. Housing a curated collection of artifacts, replicas, and informative exhibits, it offers visitors a comprehensive overview of the palace's history and significance. The interactive displays truly brought the past to life, allowing me to better understand the daily lives of the imperial court and the societal norms that prevailed during that era. One of the highlights of my visit was witnessing the ongoing excavation work conducted by dedicated archeologists. It's fascinating to witness history being meticulously uncovered and to see firsthand the level of care and expertise that goes into preserving these invaluable remnants. The opportunity to engage with the archeologists and learn about their findings added an extra layer of authenticity and depth to my visit.

A little bit underwhelming. I understand the historical significance of the location and what once stood here. But there isnt really any of the original remains. If youre in Nara on a day trip and short on time. id skip this place and concentrate elsewhere. Its not really worth the trek.

Came for a summer festival on the grounds. It was very beautiful. Great food and event.

A palace in the open field, it a very different feel. Open, empty, serene. Unlike the other tourist places which are packed. The train from Osaka passes between the front gate and the main building. It should be noted that it is a completely reconstructed palace (not rebuilt).

While this place has a lot of history in it as a rebuilt imperial ceremonial space, the accessibility is largely lacking and there is not much to see in the grounds. There is some space to walk through and read excerpts describing the space. The place is great for walking peacefully in Nara but those looking for a bit more to see may be disappointed.

Still under construction, but will be very nice and interesting place to visit once they finish everything.

Very historical place I know more about japan

Not much of a park. Get bikes if you are coming here. Big park with not much to see in it. Cycle to each element and head away again. More interesting things to be seen in Nara.

This place is a sham. Don't bother with it. It's out of the way, and there's literally nothing out there, but a huge field.

Capture moments that will last a lifetime as you immerse yourself in the stunning landscapes and breathtaking vistas. 📷

Beautiful historical buildings and lots of clear area around the area. Nice for photos. The train line runs through the park, making a nice location for train based photos.
