Full Description
This guided tour offers a perfect blend of culture, history, and natural beauty in the ancient city of Nara.
Start your journey from Kyoto Station and head to Kasuga Taisha Shrine, a beautifully preserved Shinto shrine famous for its thousands of bronze and stone lanterns.
Next, walk to the impressive Todaiji Temple, home to the Great Buddha — a towering bronze statue standing 15 meters tall. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is housed within the world’s largest wooden structure.
Afterward, take a relaxing stroll through Nara Park, where friendly deer roam freely. Considered messengers of the gods, these deer are beloved symbols of the city.
To complete the experience, enjoy a Japanese-style lunch at a local restaurant, where you’ll also have time to browse for souvenirs.

Reviews
“The trip was beautiful, it was raining with fewer people, and the deer were so cute. Our guide Mr. Mana, a retired history teacher, shared an incredible amount of knowledge. The small group (only 5 people) made it very personal and cozy.”
“Nara is magical. We really enjoyed the whole tour — beginning to end. Highly recommended as one of our favorite experiences in Japan!”
