Nara Park is very expansive, so this tour really helped minimize the amount of walking. The package included admission to all the sites as well as deer fortune telling and deer crackers, making it excellent value for money. Ms. Yasuko was highly knowledgeable and explained each temple in great detail, which made me appreciate them far more than if I had explored on my own.
For the deer feeding experience, we went up the mountain, where we enjoyed breathtaking views of the Nara area and a quieter setting with fewer people. I especially appreciated that it offered a more unique experience compared to the usual crowded deer-feeding spots.
