Itinerary

  1. 1

    Stop 1

    1 hour

    Tōdai-ji is one of Japan's most historically significant and visually striking Buddhist temples, located in Nara. It is home to the Daibutsuden (Great Buddha Hall), which remains one of the largest wooden buildings in the world. Inside, it enshrines the colossal 15-meter tall Daibutsu—a magnificent bronze statue of the Vairocana Buddha.

  2. 2

    Nara Park

    1 hour

    Nara Park is a beautiful public space renowned for its over 1,200 wild sika deer that roam freely and are considered messengers of the Shinto gods. Visitors can buy special crackers (shika senbei) to feed the surprisingly tame, and sometimes "bowing," deer. The park also serves as home to several of Nara's most important UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Tōdai-ji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine. It is a unique blend of nature, history, and animal interaction

  3. 3

    Stop 3

    30 min

    Kōfuku-ji is one of Japan's oldest and most historically significant Buddhist temples, established by the powerful Fujiwara clan. It is famously recognized by its magnificent Five-Storied Pagoda, the second tallest in Japan, which serves as a symbol of Nara city.

  4. 4

    Nigatsu-do Temple

    30 min

    Nigatsu-dō (Hall of the Second Month) is a key structure within the Tōdai-ji Temple complex, situated on a hillside overlooking Nara. It is famous for its large wooden balcony built on stilts (kakezukuri style), which offers a spectacular panoramic view of the Nara city basin, especially beautiful at sunset.
