• 5Coolest Nara Day Trip EVER

  The half day Nara tour today with Reiko was more than amazing. She was so engaging and taught us so much! It was great being in such a small intimate group as we were all able to chat and get to know each other more. It was an awesome day and we had so much fun.

About Nara

Nara, in the Kansai region, was Japan's capital in the eighth century and is now a city of great Buddhist temples and free-roaming deer.

Nara was the capital, Heijo-kyo, from 710 to 784, and its monuments from that age make up a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Todai-ji temple houses a bronze Great Buddha in one of the largest wooden buildings in the world. Around it spreads Nara Park, where more than a thousand sika deer roam freely and bow for crackers sold at stalls.
