This tour showcased Nara as a treasure trove of experiences

Published on Apr, 2025

The Nara National Museum was the highlight for us, where we delved deeper into Japan’s cultural history. The exhibits were well-curated and engaging, making it a great educational stop for the whole family. Heijō Palace Site Historical Park was a lovely way to wrap up our day, with plenty of space for the kids to run around and explore. This tour showcased Nara as a treasure trove of experiences.

Fantastic day

Home to majestic temples and friendly deer, Nara’s tour offers a peaceful escape. The visit to Todai-ji and its Great Buddha is unforgettable.

This was a perfect addition to our itinerary

We saw the natural beauty of Nara and it's charming townscapes. The tour guide also took us to some temples and shrines. If you are staying in Kyoto or Osaka during your trip to Japan, do not miss out on this day trip to Nara. It was the perfect addition to our itinerary.
