Overview

The ancient capital of Nara, older than even Kyoto, is easily reached by train from Osaka or Kyoto. The enormous Main Hall of Todai-ji Temple with its Great Buddha inside, the deer park where you can feed crackers to the semi-wild deer, everything is more laid-back and quieter than Kyoto with much fewer tourists. Stroll through the vast temple grounds and back into the city where the tour takes you to a typical Izakaya standing bar to try some local sake and food. A wonderful way to spend a leisurely afternoon!

Itinerary

  • Nara Park

    Only in Nara can you see hundreds of deer roaming freely. They like to follow the tourists in the hope of being fed deer crackers. We will have enough time for you to Interact with them and take some memorable pictures.

    30 minutes

  • Nigatsu-do Temple

    Nigatsudo-do Hall, with its wooden terrace and lanterns hanging from the roof, is a great backdrop for beautiful pictures. Not many tourists make their way up to this spot where you can overlook the whole of Nara city.

    20 minutes

  • Hokke-do

    Hokke-do Hall is said to be the oldest building on the Todaiji Temple grounds. Many old Buddhist statue masterpieces from the 8th century created in a very unique way are enshrined here.

    30 minutes

  • Daibutsuden

    After making our way through the freely roaming deer on the long approach we will finally stand in front of the Great Buddha Hall. The sheer size of it, the world's largest wooden building, is amazing. It tells a tale of how powerful the temple was in the 8th century.

    45 minutes

  • Kasuga Grand Shrine

    Let's enjoy a stroll through the peaceful forest around Kasuga Grand Shrine. The bright vermillion buildings, old stone lanterns, and hanging lanterns make a great background for pictures. Of course you can enjoy the deer peeking out from behind lanterns here too!

    30 minutes

  • Kofuku-ji Temple

    The five-storied pagoda of this temple was built about 600 years ago. It is constructed out of thick logs joined together in a splendid and dynamic way.

    10 minutes

A Must Do in Nara

Published on Feb, 2025

A wonderful and informative tour. We highly recommend to families. Such a beautiful city and history.

Pleasant experience with Yuka-san

Published on Jun, 2024

Yuka-san was an awesome guide. She was patient and accommodating as we are traveling with a 10yr old. Yuka-san was very knowledgeable of the area and we covered a large portion of Nara's must visit spots, and got a good sense of its history and culture. Well done Yuka-san!
