A lot of events are held which are worth seeing as those suitable to an ancient capital like Nara, such as Shunie (Omizu-tori or Sacred Water-drawing Festival) at Todai-ji Temple, Nara Tokae (Candle festival), Exhibition of Shosoin Treasures, Kasuga Wakamiya Onmatsuri Festival, and so on.
東大寺修二会やなら燈花会、正倉院展、春日若宮おん祭など古都ならではの見ごたえのある行事も数多い。
