How about walking around the must-see spots of Nara with a highly experienced guide?

This tour visits three must-see spots in “deer park”, Nara. It includes Kasuga-taisha Shrine - praised for its beautiful vermilion structures, hanging bronze lanterns, and the three thousand stone lanterns that lead up to it. It also includes Todai-ji Temple - renowned for its Great Buddha originally created in the eighth century, and Kofuku-ji Temple - closely related to the Fujiwara family, a noble family once at the summit of its prosperity.

This tour is recommended not only for first-time visitors to Nara but also for repeat visitors to discover new charms of Nara.
