Ukimido Pavilion
About
Floating gracefully over the tranquil Sagi-ike Pond in Nara Park, this hexagonal wooden pavilion is a scenic masterpiece connected by a picturesque wooden bridge. It offers a peaceful escape from the park's busier temple areas, showcasing stunning reflections of cherry blossoms in spring and fiery maples in autumn. Visitors can expect a serene stroll, beautiful photo opportunities, and occasional sightings of wild deer drinking from the water's edge.
Insider Tip
Visit at dusk when the pavilion is beautifully illuminated, or rent a wooden rowboat to view it directly from the water.
