Private Full Day Kyoto and Nara Tour from Osaka

Uncover the cultural heritage of Nara and Kyoto on a private full-day tour that blends ancient sites with everyday street life. Begin in Nara Park, where hundreds of free-roaming deer wander among wide lawns, ponds and centuries-old shrine grounds - one of Japan's most memorable encounters with wildlife. Continue to Kyoto's Higashiyama district to walk the stone-paved slopes of Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka, lined with wooden machiya townhouses, tea rooms and traditional craft shops that preserve the atmosphere of old Kyoto. The day concludes at Fushimi Inari Shrine, famous for its thousands of vermilion torii gates winding up the forested hillside. Travel between each stop in a private vehicle with hotel pickup and drop-off, at a relaxed pace tailored for families, couples and small groups. Every site on this itinerary is free to enter, so there are no additional admission fees along the way.
