Hi Chako, I’m so happy for you and your family. How exciting! I have no suggestions for the places to go visit with your mom because I’m not a “Kansai-Jin” and am not familiar with any of those places. The only thing I can suggest is to enjoy every second of the visit. I don’t know if I mentioned this here or not, but this is what I want to share. I am completely happy with the choice I made 40 years ago to come to the US. However, there was one instance that made me feel so so sad because I am here while my family is in Tokyo. That’s when I could not go back there for my mom’s passing because of the COVID related travel restrictions. That was an extremely extraordinary circumstance, but it reminded me of the importance of cherishing every moment you have with your loved ones when you can. I’m sure you will, but enjoy her company. Take care, Shin from Colorado

Thank you for sharing your story. 😌 I always try my best to cherish every moment spent with loved ones as I too was unable to travel back when my last two remaining grandparents, whom I was very close to, passed away. I only got to see photos from their funerals and felt quite left out from it all. Life is fleeting and precious. 🙃
I have chosen Muroji Temple. Considering you’re traveling with three children, being closer rather than farther away makes sense. Additionally, Nara is conveniently located near Kyoto, Osaka, and Wakayama, offering plenty of nearby tourist spots. Enjoy your precious time with your mother! 😊🌸

I would love to take my mom to Wakayama- it’s one of my favorite prefectures in Japan! Maybe next time she visits~
Dear Chako-chan Thank you very much for loving Nara with Japan. 室生寺に行かれるとのことですので、近くの仏隆寺(枝垂れ桜が有名)とか如何ですか? また、同じ宇陀市の又兵衛桜(枝垂れ桜)もオススメです。 後日、うだアニマルパークや平成子供の森公園もお子様に気に入ってもらえると思います。 お母様の動画、楽しみにしてますねぇ🤗
If you don't like taking your mom to busy places, I highly recommend Asuka village 明日香村, the birth place of Nippon 🎌Takamatsuzuka Tumulus, Asuka-temple, Okadera and peaceful field are there. Another quiet place I recommend is Taimadera in Katsuragi city. At there, you will find twin towers (pagoda), both Japanese national treasures, are so pleceful and beautiful. This is one of the best hidden jems in Nara. Have a safe and enjoyable travel to Charlotte's mom‼
