General Description Embark on a magical journey through history and nature with our guided tour of Nara and Fushimi Inari Taisha. Discover the cultural treasures of Japan as we explore the iconic Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, the majestic Kofukuji Temple, and the imposing Todai-ji Temple. And don't forget the unique experience of interacting with the adorable deer of Nara Park!

Your adventure begins with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel in Kyoto at 9:30 a.m. From there, we'll travel by train to Inari Station, where you'll immerse yourself in the mystical atmosphere of Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine. Walk under the thousands of red torii gates that wind up the mountain, a visual spectacle that has captivated travelers from all over the world.

We'll continue our journey to Nara, the ancient capital of Japan, where you'll explore Kofukuji Temple, famous for its impressive pagoda (currently under renovation) and its elegant octagonal pavilions. Next, we'll venture into Nara Park, home to hundreds of sacred deer that roam freely.

Our next stop is Todai-ji Temple, an architectural marvel that houses the largest seated Buddha statue in Japan, the Daibutsu. Admire the grandeur of the temple and its impressive main gate, one of the largest in Japan.

Before returning to Kyoto, you'll have free time to savor the delicious local cuisine of Nara. Additional Information Please provide full details of your accommodation at the time of booking.
