JR Central's new CM "Izaiza Nara"|Ryohei Suzuki is impressed by the wooden Buddha of Haseji Temple

JR Central's 5th Nara tourism campaign "Izaiza Nara" has started streaming a new commercial "Izaiza Nara Yamato Shiji Edition" (30 seconds) starring actor Ryohei Suzuki on YouTube from March 26, 2024. In addition, from Monday, April 1, TV commercials will begin broadcasting, mainly in the Tokyo metropolitan area and the Shizuoka area.

The concept of this campaign is "a journey into a unique world that stimulates the five senses." In the new commercial, Ryohei Suzuki visits Hase-ji Temple and its monzen town in central Nara Prefecture, where he is deeply moved by the music and statements of the Shingon sect that flow through the temple, and the standing statue of the eleven-sided Kanzenon Bodhisattva, which is more than 10 meters high. Other highlights include the approach to the temple, where the hydrangeas bloom beautifully in June every year, and the scene of Ryohei Suzuki chewing on mochi in Monzencho after visiting Hase-ji Temple.

In addition, the campaign website introduces the CM poster gallery and the Yamato Four Temple pilgrimage spots.
