Have you ever known where the oldest or the biggest wooden structure in the world are? In this tour, we will visit two structures in one day, Todaiji and Horyuji temple. The Great Buddha Hall in Todaiji is the biggest wooden building in the world, originally built in the 8th century. On the other hand, Horyuji is the oldest wooden building, and the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in Japan. Well, when I was a junior high school student, I went there on my school trip. I was deeply impressed by the elaborate works of ancient era's people at that time. I would like to share this feeling with you and learn more why they built those structures. Then we will also visit Nara Park. There, you can play with lovely deer and feed them with Shika-Senbei deer cracker!! Then you could realize why deer are roaming around there. Let's learn the rest of other interesting things on the tour, …. to be continued.

Be careful not to be stolen by the villain deer. -Naramachi Old Town Enjoy shopping and eating, I recommend some local specialty food for lunch, e. g. Kakinoha-Sushi, wrapped with persimmon leaf and so on. -Depart from JR Nara station for JR Horyuji station (We walk down to JR Nara Station along the shopping street from Nara Park. If you like sweets, I would like you to try some Yomogi-Mochi rice-cake on the way. Yummy!! -Horyuji Temple (You can feel the ancient atmosphere, this temple was built by Prince "Shotoko-Taishi" around the 6th to 7th century when Muhammad was walking around Mecca. You may learn why the Prince introduced the Buddhism into Japan etc. -Depart from Horyuji to Kyoto
