Mizuyachaya, a cozy teahouse in Nara, is like a scene from a Samurai movie. Nestled by a river between Kasugataisha Shrine and Todaiji Temple, it's perfect for a pit stop. Offering hot udon noodles in winter and shaved ice in summer, along with traditional sweets, it's a delightful spot to relax and refuel while exploring the area. Don't miss the red-covered benches outside for some shade on sunny days!
