Discover the cultural and spiritual highlights of the ancient imperial city of Nara in just six compact hours! Our tour begins comfortably with an approximate 30-minute train journey from Kyoto Main Station to Nara.

 

The Magic of Nara Park

 

Upon arrival in the former capital, we immediately immerse ourselves in the famous Nara Park, home to the sacred Sika deer. These tame deer are accustomed to visitors—a perfect opportunity for unique photos! Take advantage of the chance to feed the animals with special "Shika-Senbei" crackers (optional).

 

Colossal Wonders and Divine Views

 

The first architectural masterpiece awaits you inside the park: the Tōdai-ji Temple. This massive wooden structure is one of the largest timber buildings in the world and houses a huge, bronze Buddha statue—an absolute, unforgettable highlight of the tour.

From here, our path leads to a sub-temple located on the hillside, dedicated to the Goddess of Love and Mercy. As a reward for the climb, we are treated to a fantastic panoramic view over the entire city of Nara.

 

Mystical Lanterns and Conclusion

 

Afterwards, we stroll to the Kasuga-Taisha Shrine. Let yourself be enchanted by this UNESCO World Heritage site, which is surrounded by lush nature and thousands of lanterns, radiating a unique mystical atmosphere.

Finally, we return to the station, from where we take the train back to Kyoto. The tour is expected to conclude at Kyoto Main Station around 4:00 PM.
