There will also be a ceremony that re-enacts the ancient New Year’s custom of Gosaie, a talk show focusing on cultural properties in Nara that have been or are trying to be registered as World Heritage Sites, a workshop on the 2025 World Expo in Osaka, and a digital stamp rally that takes you around the tourist spots in Nara, including Otateyama and World Heritage Sites.
