Things to do in Nara Park

We had an amazing Kyoto day trip! The entire trip was very well planned, and we had enough time to enjoy every activity without feeling rushed. Everything was organised perfectly, making the experience smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. A special mention to our guide, Moana, who was absolutely amazing! She is a very talented guide who explained everything in great detail and made the trip even more interesting with her knowledge and explanations. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire ride and experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better day exploring Kyoto. Highly recommend this trip, especially with Moana as your guide!

Huahua was a fantastic guide and made our day trip to Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, Nara Park and Fushimi Inari so enjoyable. He looked after all of us throughout the day, making sure we knew where to go, what to see, and the history and significance of each place. He kept us all together and on time while making everything feel relaxed and easy. It was a beautiful day, made even better by having such a wonderful guide. We would highly recommend Huahua!

My mom and I had one of the best tours we’ve taken in Japan, thanks to our tour guide, Nathaniel. Nathaniel is amazing; he is trilingual and fluent in Japanese, English, and Mandarin Chinese. I loved how he introduced all the sights in a fun and easy-to-understand way. I was surprised I still remembered everything he talked about after I got back to the hotel. I wish he could have been my history teacher when I was in school. The timing of this tour was perfect; we avoided the crowds most of the time. We also enjoyed some alone time to walk around, shop a little, and enjoy some street food. I highly recommend this tour when visiting Osaka! Although the meet-up time is early, it is totally worth it!

We really enjoyed our tour, our tour guide Rick was really helpful and gave lots of tips and was very clear where the meeting points where to get back on the bus and even sent a WhatsApp pin 20 minutes before. It was a great day, very organised and it went really quick as we had a lot of fun.

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! 🇯🇵✨

If you are visiting Kyoto and Nara, you absolutely must book a tour with ZOEY ( Tour Guide ) She is incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and just a charming person to spend the day with. She effortlessly guided our group so we could see the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, feed the deer in Nara, and explore the historical shrines without feeling rushed. Her navigating skills made a busy transit day stress-free. Highly, highly recommended 👍🏻

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.

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

Went to feed the deer early in the morning; the deer were so hungry and super excited 🤣 Afterwards, we went to Fushimi Inari Taisha and the Thousand Torii Gates. It was quite spectacular, but with the rain and huge crowds, it wasn't very convenient to complete the whole route—doing a quick walk and having a light snack is better. We saved Arashiyama for last, spending 3 hours there and riding the 🚂 scenic train. The views were gorgeous, and we even caught a glimpse of some fall foliage. If you're taking the scenic train, you can go straight to the bamboo grove where it's less crowded and walk back down from the front. Again, it's best to walk quickly and grab simple bites; there's Tenryu-ji Temple and plenty of shops to buy food and snacks. Also, our tour guide Sarah was fantastic—she arranged for everyone taking the Arashiyama scenic train to switch sides on the return trip so we could see and photograph the scenery from both sides, and she enthusiastically shared related stories. A truly satisfying itinerary! 👍🏻❣️
