- What to expect
-
Discover Nara’s history, temples, sacred deer, and old town atmosphere on a 6-hour guided tour starting from Kyoto. Travel by Kintetsu train from Kyoto to Nara, then explore the city’s most important cultural landmarks with a local guide. Visit Kofuku-ji Temple, meet Nara’s famous deer at Ukigumo Garden, and continue to Todai-ji Temple to see the Great Buddha and Nigatsu-do. After lunch, visit Kasuga Taisha Shrine for a special shrine visit, then walk through Naramachi, Nara’s atmospheric old merchant district. This tour offers a deeper introduction to Nara than a short sightseeing visit, combining UNESCO World Heritage sites, Buddhist culture, shrine traditions, local townscapes, and the charm of Nara’s sacred deer in one well-balanced route.
