Explore Nara’s historic splendor and Fushimi’s iconic charm with your private guide on this full-day cultural journey. Meet your guide at your hotel and travel via Kyoto’s efficient public transport to Nara, Japan’s capital in the 8th century. Begin at Todai-ji Temple, a UNESCO-listed treasure and home to the Great Buddha—housed in the world’s largest wooden building. Continue to Kasuga Taisha, Nara’s most celebrated Shinto shrine, adorned with hundreds of bronze and stone lanterns donated by devoted worshippers. Stroll through nearby Nara Park, famously home to over a thousand freely roaming Sika deer considered messengers of the gods.
Return to Osaka with time to relax, reflect, and enjoy one final evening—whether that means reminiscing over drinks or sneaking in one last snack (or two).
