Overview

Explore Nara away from all tourists, on a bike, reach the top of Wakakusayama Mountain, explore a lost temple in the forest, and admire hidden Buddhist statues carved in stone... A tour that mixes sport, nature, and Japanese history for a very unique experience and amazing memories. Pour la demande de guide francophone: Nous ne pouvons pas garantir la francophonie pour un tour partagée, car mélangeant plusieurs nationalités, la priorité deviendra l'anglais. Tous nos guides parlent au minimum anglais et japonais, ce qui veut dire que le français sera une langue supplémentaire. Le guide pourra donc alterner entre anglais et français si nécessaire. Pour garantir la disponibilité du guide francophone à la date souhaitée, veuillez nous contacter à l'avance, afin que nous puissions confirmer qu'un guide francophone est toujours disponible pour votre date de réservation. Merci pour votre compréhension.

Itinerary

  • Nigatsu-do Temple

    This temple, located near Todaiji, is where they celebrate the ritual of water once a year. There, you get to the main balcony for a nice view on Todaiji area and also get a calligraphy expert to sign your "Seal book" if you have one.

    20 minutes

  • Kikuichi Monju Shiro Kanenaga

    We will give you info about japanese history in Nara, essentially craft like calligraphy and knives. You'll visit a traditional knife shop with a 750 years history and can even try the blade on paper. If you wish, you can buy knives and get tax refund directly. Also, you can get your name engraved on the blade in Japanese characters for free as you'll be with us (If the staff is working that day).

    20 minutes

  • N/A

    We reach the top of Wakakusayama and get a mind blowing vision of Nara for a "one of a kind" picture spot during this tour. Snack and water refill provided when we reach the top. Go for the reward !

    15 minutes

  • N/A

    In this long forgotten temple, called "Kyofukuji", in the middle of the forest, you'll admire how nature progressivelly takes the area back. The mix of buddhist architecture and nature provide a unique harmony that is very hard to find.

    15 minutes

  • N/A

    We will walk a few minutes to reach "Uguisuno Falls", a waterfall with an old and preserved bridge in the middle of the forest. Mind the wild life, as you mind make some new friends (See our adorable 8 legs friend).

    15 minutes

  • Mt. Kasuga Sekkutsubutsu

    Discover hidden buddhist statues carved in stone in The forest of Kasugayama. These remains of an old buddhist community are now protected and can be seen by those who are willing to walk or ride in the mountain long enough to reach its location

    15 minutes

  • Sagi Pond

    Beautiful and peaceful pond located south of Nara Park, just away from the main touristic spots. Ideal for a last picture and finish the tour with a great smile.

    15 minutes

We made one of the best choices we could have made by riding throughout the city.

One of the cities in Japan that absolutely cannot be missed is Nara. The beauty of the city lies in the fact that it mixes the art of religious places with nature, with a large number of deer. Considering that Nara is a very large city and that we want to see a lot of fascinating places, the most effective method to explore the city is by bicycle with a tour guide.

A perfect day in the forest.

Such a memorable day away from the crowds out in the stunningly beautiful forests next to Nara. Elodie our guide was great. So personable, informative, encouraging. Some challenging hills to climb but the hybrid bikes (and we in our 60's) were up to it. No ebike option so expect some huffing and puffing but who doesn't like that!
