Things to do in Ichi no Torii of Kasuga Taisha

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 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.

Experience: The Nara Prison Museum is a very unique and historically significant attraction. The architecture itself is full of Meiji-era style, with its distinctive red brick design making it perfect for photos. The museum's exhibits provide a detailed and rich overview of Japan's prison history and system. The atmosphere is rather solemn, evoking a sense of quiet contemplation and reflection during your visit. The overall route is clearly planned, with explanatory signs and displays that allow you to gradually learn a lot about the historical background. Compared to typical tourist spots, this place offers a deeper cultural and historical experience, making it suitable for those interested in architecture or history. The only thing to note is that the location is a bit inconvenient, so it's advisable to allow extra travel time. However, the overall experience is well worth it, making it a less crowded but very distinctive attraction in Nara.

Great tour. Wish the waiting tome was longer. The tour guide who was welcoming us and gave us a brifing , Miho San is very kind and caring. The bus is very convenient. The hilltop view is great. Very recommended! Children enjoyed walking and deers were so sweet and cute. The tip that helped us: we walked to carts that sell deer crackers first and took the wakakusa bus right after that.so we could feed deers on top of the hill.

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 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.

we loved the gold fish museum it was longer than we thought when we started it so it was I really nice surprise. For the reptile one, it was a little less magical. They were cute reptiles and some you could even pet gently but it was not very long and most of them where just in their cage without art ou anything done to it (so it was more similar to a pet shop in a way). Still fun but if I had to rebook I will personally just take the gold fish museum because it was more artistic.

Mr Hirano was an excellent tea master and provided a very memorable experience for my whole family. He explained all the aspects of the ceremony from cleansing, entering the tea room via side door and etiquette. The background for each bowl given to each participant was also a nice touch. It was the highlight of our trip to Nara.

The tea ceremony was a wonderful experience. I had the procedures explained to me, learned how to properly prepare matcha, and was able to make my own matcha. The information about how the necessary tools (chasen) are made was also very interesting. I can highly recommend Kurabi 🙏
