UPDATED June 18, 2020
Now Accepting Reservations for Private Tours and Nara Park Classic Tour
We are happy to announce that we are offering Private Tours and Nara Park Classic Tour from June 21.
Changes made to our tour operation:
All tours including Nara Park Classic Tour requires a reservation 2 days in advance.
Our guides will be wearing a mask during a tour. However, wearing a mask increases a risk of heatstroke; for Nara Park Classic Tour and other walking tours, we may shorten the time or a tour route to lower the risk, especially during June to September.
We ask all our guests to fill out a Contact Information form so that we may contact you if we learn of any COVID-19 infection at tour destinations, of a guide, etc. before/after the tour. (Primary traveler’s contact information, if you are traveling as a group or a family.)
Changes at tour destinations:
Nara Park Classic Tour/ Horyuji Todaiji One-day Tour: Great Buddha Hall at Todaiji Temple asks all visitors to wear a face mask. Please bring a face mask.
