Top 10 Nara Tours, Japan | Nara Tours from Kyoto/Osaka

Discover the ancient Nara, located in the Kansai region of Japan. As Japan’s first permanent capital, it's a place where history and culture blend seamlessly with nature. This ancient city, less than an hour from Kyoto and Osaka, offers a unique opportunity to step back in time and explore centuries-old temples, peaceful gardens, and sacred deer roaming freely. Nara is home to eight World Heritage sites, making it Japan's second-largest cultural heritage capital after Kyoto.

Our Nara Tours are designed to showcase the best of this historic city, from the majestic Todai-ji Temple, home to the world’s largest bronze Buddha, to the tranquil paths of Nara Park, where sacred deer roam freely among visitors. Experience the serene beauty of the Kasuga-Taisha Shrine, adorned with thousands of ancient lanterns, and explore the remains of the Heijo Palace, where emperors once walked.  Additionally, enjoy the scenic views from Mt. Wakakusa, a grass-covered hill that offers panoramic views of Nara and is especially beautiful when lit up during the annual Yamayaki festival.

Each Nara tour is led by knowledgeable guides who bring the rich tapestry of Nara’s history to life through fascinating stories and insights. Whether you're seeking a full-day excursion or a more specialized adventure, our tours offer a comprehensive way to experience Nara’s unique blend of natural beauty and historical significance.
