When it comes to iconic Japanese summer treats, shaved ice takes the spotlight!
Nara, the Ancient Capital of Japan, renowned for its historic shrines and temples, is also famous for being a gathering place of exceptional shaved ice establishments.
The shop that made Nara’s shaved ice famous at once is Housekibaco(ほうせき箱). It is located near the renowned World Heritage site Kofuku-ji Temple and the famous Nara Park, known for its abundant population of wild deer.
