Overview of your Kyoto tour:

Nara is an older capital of Japan than Kyoto, with mystery. We yet know why the ancient capital, Nara, was suddenly abandoned in 784 with only 75 years of short life, leaving so many ruins in the nature. As a result, today travelers can enjoy her for the beautiful nature blended with more than 1, 300 years of history. The central part of the city is entirely a natural park, with grass fields, forests and wild animals, especially wild deer. Here, you may be surprised when a herd of wild deer is crossing driveways, while cars are waiting. In fact, people love them with Shinto worships as a legend. Though they are wild, you can feed them by hand and they may return their bows to you, if you learn it. In the park, we have so many sites, i. e. Kofukuji temple with five storied pagoda, Todaiji temple with great Buddha and Kasuga shrine with thousands of stone lanterns. On our way back to Kyoto, we will stop by Fushimi-inari shrine, for travelers love to photograph tunnels of vermilion colored Shinto gates there.
