Explore Nara in a Day Van Tour

Why not visit Nara after enjoying sightseeing in Kyoto or Osaka? This ancient city, rich in nature and history, offers a unique charm that's different from the bustling cities. We offer small-group one-day van tours. On this tour, you'll visit two of Nara’s most iconic cultural heritage sites: Todai-ji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine. Our guide will share only the most interesting and engaging facts about their history—don’t worry, this isn’t a history class! In addition to temples and shrines, we’ve planned a full day for you, including a delicious lunch, cozy cafés, souvenir shops, and breathtaking views from the summit of Mount Wakakusa. Our friendly and flexible guide will ensure you have the best day in Nara.
