Things to do in Toshodai-ji

Amazing!!!! Highly recommend!!! Our guide Shelley is so friendly and knowledgeable! A really incredible tour!!! Well worth it!!!

itinery suggests you will visit a number of locations yet you only have time for one desiltimation . The buddah is 3.6 kms from the lookout area not nearly enough time to undertake the walk

The rental store’s location is very convenient, just 4 mins by walk from Nara Kintetsu station. The staffs are professional and friendly. They have various kind of beautiful kimono and accessories. I booked kimono rental for couple plus 30 mins’ photograph shoot via Klook. The stylist is pretty efficient and kind. The photographer is good at guiding us to make nice postures. I’m satisfied with the service and pictures. The price is fair. It’s really worth for the money! I highly recommend people to experience the beauty of Nara with them ☺️❤️

Absolutely loved this tour! Such a fun and well-organised day exploring Nara, Uji and Kyoto. Our guide, Lee, was friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole experience so enjoyable. We saw beautiful places, ate great food and made amazing memories. Highly recommend this tour—definitely worth it! 🇯🇵✨

Today we had the pleasure of having Ms. Yurika as our guide, and the experience was truly wonderful from start to finish. From the moment we boarded the bus, she provided clear and engaging explanations about the history of the places we visited. Throughout the day, Ms. Yurika demonstrated outstanding professionalism, kindness, and dedication. She remained attentive to the group at all times, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and well-informed. Her detailed explanations of the customs and traditions of each temple made the experience even more meaningful and enriching. She was always willing to help and made sure all our needs were met, which made us feel truly cared for. Thanks to her enthusiasm and knowledge, the tour was not only informative but also very enjoyable. My family and I had an amazing time, and this experience will remain unforgettable for us. We sincerely appreciate Ms. Yurika for her time and dedication in making this day so special. Thank you very much, Ms. Yurika

I had so much fun, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish! Since it’s a self-guided tour, there was plenty of room for exploring on our own while still having the flexibility to enjoy the trip at our own pace. Our guide, HaoWen, was also very thoughtful and gave us souvenirs at the end of the trip. Would definitely recommend this tour!

we had a really excellent time making chopsticks! it was very fun and easy to follow. good balance of independence with giving help, and we could make our own design choices. the laser engraving was an extra fee, as were certain woods.

Our host welcomed us into their tea room. They explained all the elements and tools of the ceremony in perfect English. We also learned a few Japanese words and discovered a typical sweet treat. We learned a lot about the meaning of the bowls and the purification of the tools. It was a very emotional and meaningful experience that we thoroughly enjoyed discovering. We would love to do it again! Thank you to our host for their kindness and thoughtfulness.

10/10! Kimu-san was an incredibly knowledgeable and helpful guide. He was especially thoughtful with our 9 year old and made our experience so special! It was great being able to feed and interact with the deer away from the crowds while learning more about the culture and history in Nara. Highly recommend!
