Nara Lazy Bird Tour

Nara Lazy Bird Tour

From the best spots which represent the ancient capital of Nara we have selected three places, including world cultural heritage sites and national treasures, Todai-ji Temple with its Great Buddha is a must when visiting Nara, and the peacefulness of Kasuga Grand Shrine with its surrounding forest is very refreshing. We also have plenty of time to enjoy the semi-wild deer roaming around freely in the city, another symbol of Nara.

This tour is designed to start after the peak visiting time, so you can experience these wonderful spots in a relaxed atmosphere.
