You can feel two different faces of Japan, old and new in one day. Experience ancient history during the day and enjoy vibrant commercial atomosphere of the urban life in the late afternoon / early evening.

What‘s not included

transportation fee, lunch, entrance fee


The entrance fee of Todaiji Temple is ¥800 per person.


If you have a JR Pass, it is possible to use it from Osaka to Nara. But I would advise you we take Kintetsu Line from Namba Station especially if you are staying in the southern part of Osaka. It will cost ¥560, but much more convenient.

Tour Important Information

It will at least require 8 hours to visit both Nara and Osaka. (I can do the tour in two separate days if you prefer.)

It will involve a lot of walking. Please let me know if that is a problem, so I can make other plans.

About Tour Guide Toichi N.

I'm Toichi. Please call me Ichi, which means No.1 in Japanese. Or you can remember it as 'itchy' Ichi.

Born and bred in Osaka, I would like to introduce you to this extremely diverse and interesting city.

I have travelled extensively around the globe, and I think one of the greatest pleasure of travelling abroad is meeting people who have different ways of lifestyle and thinking. Japan may not be an easy place for tourists to get to know its people. So, I hope to help you to get closer to meet real Japan and Japanese people.

I would like to show you how ordinary Japanese people live and think. And I am happy if you could have a day of unique cultural experiences which you can look back to in ten years' time!

Unforgettable Kyoto Tour

Ichi made our Kyoto walking tour truly special. He met us at our hotel, fully prepared and with a clear plan, and from there, the experience only got better. Ichi shared fascinating insights about Maikos and Geikos in Gion, taught us how to count in Japanese, and even treated us to some delicious sake! He also showed us how to make origami, adding a unique cultural touch that we’ll never forget. Ichi’s knowledge of hidden gems—like a secluded zen garden we had all to ourselves—made our visit feel exclusive and unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Jeremy S.

Hello Jeremy, Thank you very much for recommending my tour to others! I am glad to know you enjoyed the tour very much. I think this walking tour I created is very interesting even though a lot of walkings are involved. Hope you enjoed the rest of your trip in Japan, but I'm sure your daughters are very happy to see you back. After all, there's no place like Home! Maybe next time you can visit me in my hometown of Osaka!

Phenomenal Guide

We had a fantastic experience with Ichi/Toichi! Ichi is a rock star in every way! Very detailed and convenient, timely planning in places he took us to; as well as recommending great restaurants. He has a wealth of knowledge in history, also an extremely considerate and caring person. Ichi really took the time in planning to make sure we had the best experience and we ended up with 2 awesome fun filled days. We could not have asked for a better guide. Highly highly recommended!!!

Ann M.

Dear Ann, Thank you very very much for your awesome comments. I had a lovely two days with you and your swordman. I just finished today's job in Kyoto and drinking a beer alone under 4jo Bridge. I wish you were here with me. Oops, you don't drink. No fun then, lol. Anyway, I'll make sure to go to the restaurant you recommended! all the best, Ichi

Exceptional day in Kyoto.

Ichi provided a great introductory tour of Kyoto. He is incredibly friendly and has a deep knowledge of the city and its history, was very well prepared (even with visual aids) and adjusted the tour based on our interests. He took us to places few tourists have the opportunity to see as well as some major sites. Thanks for a great time!

David W.

Thanks for the comments. I hope you had a great journey around Japan. Bon voyage!

Osaka

There are so many temples on Mount Koya. The famous graveyard is also massive. The scene is mysterious. It takes about two hours by train from Osaka, but you are in another world once you arrive. You can learn about Buddhism in Japan while immersed in a unique atmosphere there. Mt. Koya is the headquarters of the Shingon sect of Japanese esoteric Buddhism. High Priest Kukai founded it and began building temples here. I will explain why the Japanese people love Kukai.

The city of Osaka flourished around the eponymous Osaka Castle during the Edo era, and is now the third largest city in Japan. It is said to be the center of commerce and is a vibrant city with an atmosphere distinct from that of Tokyo or Kyoto. Please visit Osaka and get to know a different side of the country.
