Is the sunset at Nara's Wakakusa Mountain worth seeing?

🌟Highlights: If you check the sunset time for the day and arrive at the mountain at around that time, the sunset is worth seeing. Wakakusa Mountain is located between Todai-ji and Kasuga-taisha, and is part of Nara Park. The mountain slopes are covered in lush green grass, and deer can be seen leisurely strolling around. From the top of the mountain, you can overlook the buildings in the distance, and the scenery is quite nice. ⏳Recommended duration: If you set off at 2pm, you can visit Todai-ji until around 4pm (the mountain closes at 4:30pm), then start climbing the mountain. You can take photos while climbing, and it takes about 40 minutes, which is just about right. The mountain is not high and it's not difficult to climb, but the key is that the temperature in Nara in the afternoon is around 35 degrees, and the sun is scorching, making people sweat. Of course, many people don't climb the mountain at all, and just wait quietly on the stone steps at the south entrance of the mountain, which is also a good choice. 📝Tips: There are vending machines at the foot of the mountain where you can buy water and drinks. There are no supplies on the mountain. If the sun is scorching and you run out of water, you probably won't be able to stay for long. There is nowhere to shelter from the sun at the top of the mountain, so you'll have to tough it out. (We ran out of water and left before the sunset) Admission: JPY 150 per person
