Full Day Nara and Uji Green Tea Town tour from Kyoto with a private guide

Nara is a very beautiful and interesting city known by the old name of "Yamato（大和）". "Yamato" then became a word that referred to the whole Japan. It was established as the first permanent capital in the year 710. There are a lot of historical monuments in this ancient city, such as Todaiji Great Buddha Hall, Kasuga Shrine, Kofukuji Temple and so on. Todaiji has the Great Buddha Hall "Daibutsu-Den" the world biggest wooden architecture, and it also houses the world biggest bronze statue of Buddha cast in the 8th century. Nara"deer"park is also one of must-see areas. there are a lot of deer roaming around the park. They are said to be messengers of the deities of Kasuga Taisha Shrine. So they have been carefully protected since ancient times. You can feed them deer crackers. Let's walk around some of the historic sites and play with the lovely deer at Nara Park!!
