What To Expect
Todai-ji Temple
Todaiji temple, "Eastern Great Temple" is a Buddhist temple complex that was once one of the powerful Seven Great Temples, located in the city of Nara, Japan. Though it was originally founded in the year 738 CE, Tōdai-ji was not opened until the year 752 CE. The temple has undergone several reconstructions since then, with the most significant reconstruction (that of the Great Buddha Hall) taking place in 1709. The temple also serves as the Japanese headquarters of the Kegon school of Buddhism. The temple is a listed UNESCO World Heritage Site as one of the "Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara", together with seven other sites including temples, shrines and places in the city of Nara.
Nara Park
Alongside Naramachi and Nishinokyo, Nara Park is one of the must-see areas in Nara City. The vast area covers 660 hectares and is renowned for its free-roaming deer and world famous temples. Feeding the deer is an attraction in itself and special crackers are on sale all around the park. For human refreshments, there are traditional tea houses as well as kiosks selling snacks and souvenirs.

5.00We really enjoyed our day trip seeing Nara Park, KinkaKuJi, other local temples, Arashiyama area, local suggested lunch and the pretty garden area we saw during our site seeing tour. Yoshimura was an excellent 👌🏼 guide. Nice ride and pleasant day for us.

4.00The other traveler’s should know is the private trip is way too expensive, my honest opinion… is not worth paying MORE THAN $1000 there’s no excitement like the bus tour where you enjoy the journey with others and more organised the only convenient of private tour is the hotel pick up… other than that private tour is a bit depressing, Bus tour is the way to go …we have soo much fun in our last tour with bus and most of all way cheaper than private. We learned our lesson in a very expensive way, I would like to say thank you to our Driver Yoshimura San and I would give 4 stars just because he is nice man.

5.00My daughter & I had an excellent day tour of Kyoto & Nara with Ben. Ben showed us the best of these areas and made the day special and memorable. His English is very good and we learnt a lot about Japanese life, culture, language and the food (he took us to a fantastic restaurant where we ate Soba noodles amongst local people.). We simply could not have seen and experienced what we did in one day without Ben’s help. It is clear that he loves his job and wants to share his love of Japan with others. Thank you Ben for a wonderful day!

5.00This tour covered so much culture in Kyoto. We got to see temples, shrines the bamboo forest and Nara. Bong was our tour guide and he was so knowledgeable and very fun. The van we rode in was super comfortable and we stopped for lunch and had the most delicious soba. Definitely recommend!
