Kashihara
7.4
High score (8-10)
Kashihara holds Kashihara Jingu, built on the supposed site where Emperor Jimmu founded Japan in 660 BC, which makes it a regular stop for nationalist pilgrims and historians and gives the city a specific ideological weight you'll feel. The attached archaeological museum is genuinely excellent and pulls researchers and serious history travelers. Outside the shrine complex it's a functioning mid-sized Nara city with enough restaurants and bars for a normal evening, but the visitor crowd here is not the internationally-mixed type you'd find in Nara city. Temple culture here is formal and reverent in a way that isn't unfriendly to outsiders, just not designed for social mixing.
