Nara Prefecture in Japan is a first-class administrative region, directly under the central government, which is equivalent to a province in China.
Introduction to Nara Prefecture:
Nara, as an ancient cultural city, has many ancient temples and historical relics, enjoys the title of "the capital of social temples" and is regarded as "the spiritual hometown" by Japanese nationals. This place is one of the birthplaces of ancient Japanese culture, and its important places of interest include the ruins of Pingchengjing, the Imperial Tomb, Dongda Temple, Tangzhaoti Temple, Yakushiji, Kofukuji, Daianji, Horyuji, Zhengcang Courtyard, Chunri Shrine, Yuanxing Temple, Nishioji, Handangshan Bagan Shrine, Nara Park and so on.
Nara Prefecture is located in the center of Kiichi Peninsula in Japan, surrounded by Osaka Prefecture, Kyoto Prefecture, Wakayama Prefecture and Mie Prefecture, and belongs to an inland county. It consists of Jiyi Mountain, known as the "roof of Kinki", and the plains extending to the north. The land area accounts for about 1% of the national area, and the mountainous area accounts for a large proportion, with a forest coverage rate of 77%. About 9% of the population is concentrated in the Nara Basin in the north of the county and its surrounding areas. Nara Prefecture was once the capital of Japan from 71 to 794, known as "Pingchengjing" and the cradle of Japanese culture, art and craft. Nara flourished as the political and cultural center of Japan from the 6th century to the 8th century when Buddhism was introduced to Japan. In 71 A.D., the large-scale international capital "Pingchengjing", which was created by imitating Chang 'an in China in the Tang Dynasty, has been included in the world heritage as a historical heritage. Western culture, art and architectural technology were introduced to Japan through the ancient trade route-Silk Road, and there are many national treasures and important cultural heritages, such as the world cultural heritage headed by Dongda Temple and Horyuji, Buddhist architecture, Buddha statue carving and so on.
The county has a mountainous climate, and the overall climate is mild. The northern region has a warm climate and abundant rainfall, with an average annual temperature of about 15℃ and an average annual rainfall of about 12 to 13 mm; The southern mountainous area is a rainy zone with a mountainous climate, with an annual rainfall of about 5 mm and an annual average temperature of about 1℃. It is famous for its abundant Yoshinoya fir. As a major industry, forestry has developed by leaps and bounds, and one of the few beautiful people in Japan has been planted. It also has developed industries such as fiber industry in Yamato Takada, metal industry and machinery industry in Yamato Prefecture.
Nara Prefecture has no port to use, so waterway transportation has to rely on the surrounding areas, and land transportation is its lifeline to other parts of Japan and abroad. There is no airport, and the most convenient way is to use Kansai International Airport and Osaka Airport.
