What To Expect

1

Nara Park

Nara Park is one of the must-see areas in Nara City and is one of the oldest parks in Japan. The vast area covers 660 hectares and is renowned for its free-roaming deer and world-famous temples. These tame creatures are believed to be sacred messengers of the Shinto gods and walk freely in Nara. Over time, these cute deers have learned to bow to visitors-a sign for a treat. For over 1,300 years, humans and deer have peacefully coexisted in Nara. Today, they are protected as Natural Monuments, and revered as holy animals in Nara.

The temple's main hall, the Daibutsuden (Big Buddha Hall), was recognized as the world's largest wooden building. The massive building houses one of Japan's largest bronze statues of Buddha (Daibutsu). The 15-meter-tall, seated Buddha represents Vairocana and is flanked by two Bodhisattvas.

  • Ok experience trip.

    This tour is more of a drive to each destination and then self guide your experience until you’re due back at the bus to proceed with the trip rather than a guided tour. I don’t think i saw this mentioned at the time of booking. While it didn’t bother me too much, other members of my party were frustrated with the lack of itinerary. Our guide Amanda would always go over each stop in English and mandarin however it was very fast and not everyone always understood what was going on. No information about Japan or our stops was provided during travel times either. While this trip did provide easy access to the hotspots in Nara, Uji, and Kyoto, depending on how good you are at navigating JR rail it could be a better option given the tour being self guided.

  • Amy is a wonderful tour...

    It was a nice experience, the tour guide Amanda communicated since the day before with the instructions and also shared with us locations to return during the tour which was easy to follow. Just be careful in Nara when giving food to animals 🤣😅 I really recommend it if you want to visit all of these places 🙂

  • Great experience
