Private Tour

Ideal for first-time visitors to Nara, this 3-hour fully private walking tour introduces you to both must-see landmarks and hidden gems with a local guide.
Explore Nara, dotted with historically and culturally significant temples. In Nara, wild deer are revered as messengers of the gods, and they roam freely throughout the city. Don't miss the unique opportunity to feed these sacred creatures—it's an experience you can only have here in Japan.
This tour includes admission tickets to all shrines and the deer feeding experience. It's the most efficient way to cover Nara's historic streetscape and visit its most famous shrines and temples in just a few hours.

We booked a private tour and this was one of the best tours ever. Our local Japanese guide was gracious and super polite and had planned our itinerary so efficiently that we didn’t feel burnt out despite all the walking and the crowds. For first-timers that might feel a bit overwhelmed or confused about seeing the area or if you’re suffering from analysis paralysis about choosing the “perfect” Nara tour, this is absolutely the one.
