Three-day Highlights Tour of Kyoto and Nara, two ancient capital cities, for first time visitors

If you come to Japan, Kyoto and Nara are sightseeing destinations that you can not miss. Kyoto is a big city, full of attractive things from old times to present day. Particularly the most attractive thing in Kyoto is an unique atmosphere Kyoto creates, mixture of the old and new. You can see a small shrine that local people pray to a deity in a modern shopping arcade. If you walk into a backstreet in the amusement quarter from the hustle and bustle of the main street, you may come across kimono-clad Geisha. On the corner of down town, the smell of burned Teriyaki sauce may attract you to a nice gourmet restaurant. Nara is also an ancient capital of Japan, older than Kyoto. You will be greeted by deer, the messengers of the god of Kasuga Shrine. You can also enjoy local delicacies such as Kaki-no-ha sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves and Yomogi rice cakes. For those who like to drink, Nara's local sake will be an irresistible attraction.
