End point

Itinerary

  • Nara Station

    Our meeting spot is JR Nara Station. You will find our guide in front of the ticket gates. There is only one location for ticket gates at JR Nara Station. So just come out, and find our guide with a white NaraWalk flag. *Note: If you find ticket gates at underground level, you are at Kintetsu Nara Station which is a station about 15 min. away on foot from JR Nara Station.

    5 minutes

  • Todai-ji Temple

    We visit the Great Buddha Hall to meet the Big Buddha. The guide will tell you stories behind the Big Buddha statue and the temple. It's a picture spot.

    40 minutes

  • Nara Park

    Our destinations, Todaiji Temple, Kasuga Taisha Shrine, and Kofukuji Temple - it's not wrong to say all of them are in the Nara Park. Depending on the season and speed of the group, we may add more spots from the Nara Park.

    30 minutes

  • Kofuku-ji Temple

    We usually end the tour at this temple. The five-storied pagoda is photogenic. After informing you with history, we are happy to give you direction for train stations, afternoon plans, and a lunch. (*During June to September, when heatstroke is a concern, we may only visit Kasuga Grand Shrine, Nara Park and Todaiji Temple. If the temperature permits we may go to Kofukuji Temple.)

    20 minutes

  • Kasuga Grand Shrine

    Walk the precinct with the guide and most likely you can spot deer here and there. Find out why deer are freely roaming in Nara, the difference between Shinto and Buddhism and so on.

    30 minutes

Great walking tour of Nara

Published on Nov, 2024

This walking tour is definitely worth it. Nara is huge and to have a guide was really helpful. It also included entrance to the Great Temple which was one of the most impressive things I’ve seen. Seiko our guide was so helpful, knowledgeable and curious, funny too! Couldn’t recommend this tour and Seiko more!

Seiko’s Nara walk tour is unbeatable!

Published on Nov, 2024

Seiko was fully prepared with an interesting presentation along the walk plus visual aids that really helped visualize life many years ago. She answered all our questions without hesitation.

Fantastic experience at Nara Park with Seiko!

Published on Oct, 2024

Had a great time walking through Nara Park with Seiko! She was so warm and friendly and her knowledge of the temples and surrounding area was amazing. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a VIP experience in Nara!! Thanks Seiko!!

Nara park feedback

Published on Sep, 2024

This was a wonderful experience! Kazu was fantastic at explaining the history and did so very professionally! You can choose to do this on your own, I think it’s nice to do a guided tour to learn more of the culture/ religion. I have already thanked Kazu, our guide personally, she was truly the best!!! The park in general was amazing!!! This is an absolute must when visiting Japan!!

We had a great day visiting Nara , the guide and her assistant were very informative and friendly and did a fabulous job . The deer are everywhere, they even go in the shops but be careful as the males can get a bit frisky
