About
Escape the busy streets of Osaka and embark on a serene journey to the historic city of Nara, the first permanent capital of Japan.
First, visit Kofuku-ji Temple, another World Heritage Site, where you'll witness the towering pagoda that stands as a symbol of Nara's spiritual heritage.
From here, head to the expansive Nara Park, famous for its friendly deer that roam freely throughout the area. Have the chance to feed the deer and enjoy a peaceful walk through the park, with views of the surrounding mountains.
A highlight of the tour is a visit to the awe-inspiring Todai-ji Temple, home to the Great Buddha, one of the largest bronze Buddha statues in the world. Be amazed by the grandeur ...
