About this activity

Nara Highlights with Licensed Guide-Driver

Explore Nara’s icons in one seamless, great-value day—guided and driven by a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter operating legally as both guide and driver under Japan’s new system. Meet the deer in Nara Park, marvel at Tōdai-ji’s Great Buddha, feel the hush of Kasuga Taisha, step back at the Heijō Palace Site, and admire Yakushi-ji.

Sample route: Heijō Palace Site → Nara Park → Tōdai-ji Great Buddha Hall → Kasuga Taisha → Yakushi-ji
