(~15km round trip)This hike runs parallel just to the north of Yagyu road. Walk through the main road of Nara park, between Todaiji and Kasuga taisha. Behind the hideously designed Nara Prefectural Public Hall, you will come to an intersection, continue straight (east) past souvenir shops into the woods. If you were to turn left 100 meters up the hill is a nice and extremely expensive French restaurant with a great view. The trail winds up a wide path and comes to a small waterfall after ~7km. Near the waterfall is road access from the north side of Nara Park (near Nigatsu-do), an onsen is also nearby. This trail is beautiful in autumn leaves, and is a great place for jogging when you get bored of Nara park.
