How about walking around Nara must-see spots with a highly experienced guide?
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.
Along the way, other scenic spots of Nara, such as Mt. Kasuga, Tobihino hill, Ukimi-do gazebo, and Suikinkutsu (a buried pot that makes harp-like sound with water drops) will also attract your eyes and ears.
At the end of the tour, we will take the time to experience Japanese cultures such as origami or kumihimo braiding.
This tour is recommended not only for first-time visitors to Nara but also for repeat visitors to discover new charms of Nara.
