About

This is a WALKING TOUR. On this tour, you will explore the best of what Nara has to offer, including the most famous sites, such as Nara Park, and Todaiji Temple, but also some "Off the beaten path" places, such as the original shop of the former Katana maker and actual famous Knifemaker "Kikuichi", and the Kasuga Taisha Shrine. Continue with cultural activities, including an introduction to Origami, the "Deer Challenge", and Calligraphy. If time allows it, you can wear a Kimono and/or a variety of costumes/outfits and go for a memorable photoshoot. Explore the site of the oldest temple in Japan, Gangoji Temple, and listen to the scary origin story of the demon of Gangoji. Finally, go to a traditional Japanese cafe to experience a true Tea Ceremony led by a certified Tea Master, away from the crowded and overpriced tourist traps, with freshly made matcha green tea, right in front of you, and a traditional handmade "Wagashi", a Japanese sweet for Tea.

Our guide was very friendly and extremely informative about the religions/stories and everything around them. A great experience and will definitely not be our last time choosing TripAdvisor. The man knows what he is doing and was able to teach us everything in perfect German in the bamboo garden and the various shrines. Thanks for the great day!

After our tour in Osaka , the next day very beautiful day in Bicycle in NARA: the Park, its deer, the temple of Todaiji, visit of a knife manufacturer and purchases, introduction to the traditional art of calligraphy .... Remi knew how to walk us but shared his passion for Japan and its history. For information, we booked 4 private tours via the Japan tour adventure website, our exchanges were simple, pleasant and professional. Thanks to their support everything went as planned and were able to fully enjoy our discoveries in Japan. We highly recommend their services to future travelers: serious, responsive and attentive.
