Meeting Point

Kintestu Nara Station

- It’s very easy to get to Nara from either Osaka or Kyoto. You can take the Kintetsu Line directly to Nara Station.

09:00 AM

Kofuku-ji Temple

Kofuku-ji Temple was established in Nara at the same time as the capital in 710. It is famous for it's five-storied pagoda, the second tallest wooden pagoda in Japan just seven meters shorter than the five-storied pagoda at Kyoto's Toji Temple. See this temple for yourself at sunrise!

10:20 AM

Kasuga Grand Shrine

Kasuga Grand Shrine is famous for it's lanterns, which have been donated by worshippers. There are approximately 3000 stone and bronze lanterns, standing as one of Japan's most historical shrines. It holds significance as the sacred grounds that inspired the presence of deer in Nara Park.

11:30 AM

Todai-ji Temple

Todaiji Temple is famous for its Great Buddha Statue, the biggest Buddha statue in Japan. Until recently, this temple's man hall was the world's largest wooden building. It looks beautiful but once you know the history to why it was built and it's historical significance, you will be shocked!

12:20 PM

Nara Park

Nara Park is home to thousands of wild deers. These deers are considered to be sacred because it's said that one of the 4 gods in Kasuga Shrine rode the deer to Nara. The cute thing about these deers is that they bow at you when you feed them! It's an experience that everyone should try!

“Port Call Nara and Kyoto private tour for Group of 14 ”

We had a wonderful Nara and Kyoto excursion with Akita. He was friendly, professional and well organised, planning a packed itinerary that included transport and made excellent use of our limited time. His knowledge and thoughtful guidance helped us see so much and enjoy the day. Highly recommended!

“Day trip in Kyoto”

We had the best day in Kyoto with Akira! He added a special stop for my friend's birthday and took us to an amazing lunch spot we'd never have found on our own. Warm, fun and so thoughtful. Highly recommend!
