Things to do in Tōdai-ji

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 ☺️❤️

We had a wonderful one-day tour from Osaka to Kyoto and Nara with Harry Qiu from Wish Travel. He arrived promptly, tailored the itinerary to our needs, and gave us time to enjoy Nara and Kyoto at our own pace. We visited Todaiji Temple, Nara Deer Park, Arashiyama Bamboo Forest in Kyoto and the surrounding areas. Harry also accommodated our last-minute request for my daughter to wear a traditional kimono, bringing us to a shop with beautiful options and reasonable prices. Despite our limited time, he found a charming, less-crowded shrine nearby for a memorable photoshoot. His driving was safe and comfortable, and he communicated fluently in English, Chinese, and Japanese. Friendly, flexible, and knowledgeable, Harry made our trip truly special. We highly recommend Harry Qiu to anyone seeking a personalised tour of Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara.

If you're traveling a big international trip like we did and were a little nervous trying to figure out all the train systems this is a great option! We based in Osaka for a few days and wanted to see Kyoto and Nara while we were here. We figured we'd be a little overwhelmed trying to get over to Kyoto/Nara so we last minute decided to book a bus tour to the big spots we wanted to see. This was such a great tour! Harid was our tour guide and he was fabulous! You coukd tell he loved what he did. He was always willing to answer our groups questions and keep us informed of each next stop and expectations. We didn't book the lunch but he gave us a good recommendation of where to eat while the rest of the group did the lunch included. He even helped take photos for everyone when needed.

Overall, the experience was fun and hassle-free. Thanks to this tour package. Definitely a must try! 😎👍🏻👍🏻 Special thanks to our tour guide - Shine(formerly handsome man) is a nice tour guide. He was good at providing details and stories on how to improve as a guide. He was kind enough to give us sets of umbrella and was nice to my kids. He also kind to provide assistance outside the tour. I would recommend him and looking forward to our next day trip with him soon. 😎👍🏻👍🏻 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had an amazing experience on this trip! ❤️ Everything was well organized, the places were beautiful, and I enjoyed every moment. A special shoutout to our guide, CC, who was incredibly sweet, friendly, and helpful throughout the journey. She made the whole experience even more enjoyable with her lovely personality and positive energy. 🥰 Highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Japan. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip! 🇯🇵✨

a lovely afternoon and tour guide was super helpful and guided us personally back to the correct station .. many thanks

yoshi was a terrific host and tour guide. he was very knowledgeable and also very considerate of my injured daughter who had to transport in a wheelchair. we saw so many wonderful sites and he knew so much detail about each of them. he even recommended a terrific lunch at a beautiful venue. It was a wonderful day.

We were very satisfied with our full-day trip to Nara and Uji, and I must give our guide, Ms. Mori, a five-star rating. She was very professional and friendly, switching seamlessly between English, Chinese, and Japanese throughout the tour. She explained each attraction carefully and patiently, and clearly arranged all the pick-up and drop-off points. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail made us feel very comfortable. I left the group in Uji to go to Kyoto on my own, and Ms. Mori even took me almost all the way to JR Nara Station, which I greatly appreciate! The driver was also very professional, drove smoothly, and helped with our luggage. Thank you! I highly recommend this tour; the pace was relaxed yet fulfilling, and the overall experience was excellent. I truly recommend it to everyone!

Shine was absolutely phenomenal and incredibly attentive. My cards were stolen on my transfer from Tokyo to Osaka and Shine ensured I still had a great time! Originally I planned on staying put until my flight home but decided to take the two hour walk to the meet up point and I am so glad I did! If I could give more stars I would. As a solo traveler, losing your access to funds is a huge burden. Today, Shine made me completely forget about this. He truly lives up to his name. I highly recommend his tours for solo travelers, families, and everyone in between. Money and time well spent. Infinite thank yous shine. May you always be blessed for your kindness and light in this world.
