Tour of the Great Buddha of Nara

(Highlights) The Great Buddha of Nara is a magnificent structure weighing some 500 tons. Originally built in 752 AD, the stature is 15.9 meters high excluding the pedestal and its face 4.8 meters long. Subsequently, it was damaged by natural disasasters, fires and wars and was repaired several times. It was completely rebuilt in the Edo period (1603-1867). You will be amazed at the splendid image of the Great Buddha calmly seated on the pedestal with the look of a perfect repose and passionless calm. His right hand shows mercy and left hand, the wisdom of the universe. The building housing this huge image, The Great Buddha Hall of Todaiji Temple, is the largest existing wooden structure in the world, having an area of 54 meters by 49 meters and a height of 45 meters. It was burned down by a fire twice, but was rebuilt in the Edo period. (How to enjoy) You will be amazed at how huge the Buddha image is. Immerse yourself in the solemn atmosphere it creates amid the odor of burning incense, wonder at the ancient technology and the wisdom and the devotion of people. After all, you will never end up not being deeply impressed with the aura the "Daibutsu-sama" Great Buddha emits. Everywhere around the Great Buddha Hall, in the meantime, you can enjoy mixing with tame deer which do you no harm but ask you for food, "shika-sembei", which is being sold at the nearby stalls for 150 yen a pack containing some 50 grams of the deer food. You will feel very happy feeding, stroking and hugging the cute animal whose number exceeds, perhaps, 100. (Others) The transportation fare between Kyoto and Nara on a Kintetsu train is 620 yen (plus 510 yen if you take a limited express train). The entrance fee to Todaiji temple is 600 yen.

Are you keen to experience something very unique and traditional in Fukuoka? If yes, try delicious local food in Yatai stalls! Yatai, open air food stands are probably the city’s best known symbol and a “must try” during your stay! Traditionally sitting shoulder to shoulder at the counter, these mobile Yatai kitchens have usually 8 to 10 seats and provide you with a cozy unique atmosphere. An experience you will never find anywhere else!

History Exploration and Local Town Walking Tour

You would experience the traditional Japanese cultures by visiting the Japanese style garden, the shrine and the temple. A historical museum would also showcase the history of Hakata and some notable craft products that have long been preserved. Please enjoy the fresh seafood dish for lunch! A stroll in a small but bustling local town is another attraction. Walking along the shopping street, you would feel an energetic atmosphere of everyday life.

“Tokyo Walking Tour”

I operate a small group tour company in Canada that visits Asia, Africa and Europe. Our group of 12 active seniors spent two great days with Grant exploring Tokyo's historic and tourist attractions. He is very knowledgable about Japanese culture, history and norms. I always try to book non-native guides (because they better understand what might be interesting to a foreign visitor) and Grant really delivered. We'll be using him again next year.

“Great experience of must see sites on day of arrival”

I had a wonderful guided tour in Tokyo. We visited the beautiful Meiji Jingu Shrine, explored the lively Harajuku area including Takeshita Street and Omotesando, and even enjoyed a great coffee break together. Shinya was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience feel effortless. From navigating public transport to sharing fascinating local insights. It was the perfect mix of culture, fun, and authentic Tokyo life. Highly recommended!

“Kanazawa highlights”

We had a great full day seeing the sights of Kanazawa. Lee knew all the short cuts at the various locations, saving us steps and time. He was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area. It was hard to keep up, but he said it would make sense by the end of the day and it did. We would highly recommend Lee for any tour in Kanazawa.
