Nara, the original capital or birthplace of Japan, is known as the heart of Japanese history and culture. Nara has many historical shrines and temples which contain national treasures, preserving their traditions and culture. The natural beauty of Nara creates harmony that makes it renowned as the cultural heart of Japan. It is an enormous pleasure for us all that the 67th Congress of the LMHI is to be held in September 2012 in Japan's ancient capital, Nara, where even after 1,300 years the home of Japanese people's hearts, the spirit of Manyo ("A Myriad Leaves", Japan's oldest poetry anthology) still breathes.

The Nara Prefectual New Public Hall was constructed in 1987 in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of Nara Prefecture. It is located in the center of Nara National Park, which is famous for its beauty and for its 1200 tame deer. Famous tourist spots such as Kofukuji Temple, Todaji Temple, and Kasuga Shrine are within walking distance of the hall.
