Nara Walking Tour

We'll meet at the Gyoki Bosatsu Statue to start our guided tour of Nara.

During the tour, we'll explore Nara's historic centre and discover a Buddhist pyramid with similarities to Mayan temples. We will visit the house of a local merchant for insight into Japanese culture.

The tour includes panoramic views of the city from the hill viewpoints and a visit to Nara Park to meet its famous deer, regarded as sacred divine messengers in Japan.

We will also visit the spiritual sites of the Kasuga Taisha Shrine and the Todaiji Temple, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The tour concludes with a traditional three-course Japanese meal and a drink. Our guided tour will end back at the meeting point, approximately 5 hours later.
