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.

    Very structured, the guide prepared us every step of the way to make everything work. Only downside, the dinner stop in uji. Buying the entrance to the park is unnecessary in my opinion

  • It was perfect day out...

    We had a fantastic time in Kyoto thanks to our guide, Amy! She kept everything organized through a WhatsApp group and made sure everyone felt included. Amy was super friendly, brought snacks for the group, and had a great sense of humor that kept us smiling all day. Her English was excellent, and she made communication easy for everyone. She was always happy to take photos—often suggesting fun poses—and really went above and beyond to make the experience memorable. We truly appreciated all her effort!

    John was our guide. We were able to get to areas easier to get to by bus than figuring it out myself. I quite enjoyed it, he was really nice and speaks mandarin and English.
