What To Expect

Nara Park

Nara Park is one of Japan’s most charming and unforgettable spots—especially for animal lovers. Here, you can stroll through wide, peaceful parklands while getting up close with the friendly, free-roaming deer that have become the symbol of Nara. These sacred animals are incredibly gentle and used to people, and one of the highlights is feeding them special “shika senbei” (deer crackers), which you can buy on-site. Some deer will even bow to you before receiving a treat!

1 hour • Admission Included

Todai-ji Temple

This massive wooden temple is home to the Great Buddha (Daibutsu), one of the largest bronze Buddha statues in the world, standing over 15 meters tall. As you step inside the main hall, you'll be amazed by the scale, the craftsmanship, and the spiritual atmosphere that fills the space.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our day trip to Osaka, Nara, and the Deer Park was absolutely incredible, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Hiro! From the moment we met, he was warm, welcoming, and full of knowledge about the history and culture of each stop. The visit to the temples and shrines was breathtaking—Hiro explained the traditions and stories behind each site in such an engaging way that we truly felt connected to the experience. Feeding and walking among the friendly deer in Nara was magical and unforgettable! Lunch was delicious and perfectly organized, giving us a chance to relax and enjoy authentic flavors. The shopping portion of the trip was also a highlight—we had just the right amount of time to explore and pick up unique souvenirs. Everything was seamless, stress-free, and so well coordinated. Hiro went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt comfortable and enjoyed themselves. This was hands down one of the best excursions we’ve ever booked, and we would recommend it to anyone visiting Japan. Thank you, Hiro, for making our day so special—we will remember this experience forever!
