Experience details


Embark on a half-day journey through lesser-known spots in Nara, delving into its rich heritage and culture. Visit the revered Todaiji Temple and the enchanting Kasuga Taisha Shrine, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites, offering insights into Japan's unique religious traditions. Interact with and feed the sacred wild deer of Nara Park, creatures believed to be divine messengers for over 1,200 years.

After meeting your local guide in front of the statue, it's time to start the Nara historical walking tour. Upon entering the shopping arcade, your first stop will be the iconic Kofuku-ji Temple, renowned for its stunning five-story pagoda. After capturing some memorable photographs, your journey will lead you to the impressive Todai-ji Temple.

As you approach, you'll be greeted by two imposing guardian statues known as Kongo Rikishi. Beyond them lies the grand Great Buddha statue, a sight that never fails to awe visitors. Throughout this experience, your local guide will regale you with captivating tales and fascinating insights into Japanese Buddhism and the significance of these historic temples.

After seeing the Great Buddha statue, enjoy viewing Nara on the Nigetsu-do temple. At the top of Todai-ji temple, there is the Nigetsu-do temple where you can enjoy the great view of Nara. After that, visit some traditional souvenir shops and walk toward Kasuga shrine where many wild deer gather.

Walk inside Nara park and interact with cute wild deers. Explore the beautiful red shrine housing hundreds of lanterns. After a nice walk, visit a good old restaurant for lunch. After that, check a Japanese old town that is extremely different from what you know of metropolitan Tokyo. Walking between the historical buildings, go inside a merchant's house and see how the people around here lived.
