Ukimido Pavilion
浮見堂
A hexagonal cypress-bark-roofed pavilion built on Lake Sagi, picturesque year-round with its reflections. It is one of the most photogenic spots in Nara Park.
Ukimido stands in Lake Sagi in the southern part of Nara Park. A winding wooden bridge connects it to the shore. First built in 1916 and rebuilt in 1994, its hexagonal roof of cypress bark is reflected in the water, and it looks lovely in every season with cherry blossoms, fresh greenery or autumn leaves. In summer you can rent a small boat on the lake for about 30 minutes. During the Nara Lantern Flower Festival in early to mid-August, the lakeside is lit with candles, making the night view especially beautiful. Free admission, open all day. About a 10-minute walk from the Nara National Museum, and there are many deer around the area.
