We Are Accepting Reservations.
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 during summer; 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.
