Overview

Why not visit Nara after enjoying sightseeing in Kyoto or Osaka?
This ancient city, rich in nature and history, offers a unique charm that's different from the bustling cities.

We offer small-group one-day van tours.
On this tour, you'll visit two of Nara’s most iconic cultural heritage sites: Todai-ji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine.
Our guide will share only the most interesting and engaging facts about their history—don’t worry, this isn’t a history class!

In addition to temples and shrines, we’ve planned a full day for you, including a delicious lunch, cozy cafés, souvenir shops, and breathtaking views from the summit of Mount Wakakusa.

Our friendly and flexible guide will ensure you have the best day in Nara.
With a small group size of up to 8 people, this tour is perfect for solo travelers, couples, or anyone who enjoys connecting with the guide and fellow travelers.
