Passeios por Toshodai-ji

We had an amazing day exploring Nara with our tour guide Hiromi. The bus was clean and comfortable for the drive from Kyoto. Hiromi gave an informative and engaging tour. She was open to all of our questions and was very friendly and helpful. The pace was just right for our large family (ages 5-71). We lucked out with great weather and light crowds. The lunch was traditional set meal with miso soup, Chicken donburi, sashimi, and tempura.

It was a wonderful visit. The meeting point was easy to reach, the driver drove safely, and the guide was very kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. The Christmas park is beautiful, but the Great Buddha is even more so.

Mr. Masaki's driving skills and vehicle were smooth from point to point. He gave good recommendations along the way. I liked the flexibility given overall. Well done.

素晴らしいチャーターカーでした。4人乗りのセダンを頼んだのですが、6人乗りの車が来ました。とても快適で清潔な乗り心地でした。旅行前にWhatsAppグループを作成し、すべての旅程をきちんと確認してくれたので、言葉の制約がある旅行当日もスムーズでした。唯一の欠点は、高速料金と駐車料金が含まれていないため、追加で約8000円かかることを覚悟しておく必要があります。

The deer in Nara Park are very cute and will interact with you actively. The Arashiyama Scenic Railway is also great! Our tour guide, Apple, was also wonderful, constantly explaining things to us and even giving us cookies. Very thoughtful!

This was our first walking tour ever with our toddler and infant, and it completely exceeded our expectations! Kimu made us feel fully supported, anticipating our needs without us asking. Kimu helped with our stroller, carried our backpack, found kid-friendly toilets and changing tables, and regularly checked in when our toddler got overwhelmed. It felt like traveling with someone who truly understands the challenges of parenting on-the-go. Thanks to his support, we were able to enjoy several stops that we definitely could not have navigated alone. Kimu showed us how to feed the deer safely and visit temples respectfully. He helped take precious photos of our family and guided us to calm, crowd-free spots. He also answered all our questions about the temples, sculptures, structures, and local history. If you’re traveling with young kids in Nara, this is the tour and the guide you want!

It's incredible how deer have adapted to live among humans. And the temple's size was amazing! Our guide Emiko was very knowledgeable and patient with us photographers who kept slowing the group's pace. You are the best Emiko!

The entire trip involved convenient pick-up and drop-off by car. The tour guide thoughtfully provided information about each location, and there was ample time for sightseeing.
