Tour Description
show more
Our guides will tell you history, fun facts, and folktales. We have so much we wish to share, but at the same time, we love to hear your questions! “I was always wondering. Why are shrines always red?” “Wow, how could people make such a big statue (Great Buddha) in the olden time?” “What’s the difference between Buddhism and Shinto?” Learn and make your stay in Nara not only memorable but also meaningful!
The tour usually ends under the iconic five-storied pagoda in Kofukuji Temple. The temple is conveniently located near the Higashimuki shopping street where you can find many restaurants.
