A wonderful experience for first visit to Japan. - This is my first guided tour to Nara even though it’s my third visit. It was a great experience to have a guide and learn the history of Nara. I selected this tour because I was traveling with couple of friends who are first time visitors.

Cannot describe adequately how amazing an adventure this activity is! - We got off the train wanting to go to Nara Park but having no real itinerary. There was a small booth set up with a person in a deer costume and 2 people manning the booth. We decided to go for it and boy were we glad we did!! We were placed onto a bus with our guide, Masako Iwai, and we saw just how insanely crowded it was today at the park. We got to the temple and they had sold out of deer crackers there (our guide assured us that everything would be okay and we would be feeding the deer late). We were able to walk around the temple and had free time to. purchase items or just enjoy the cherry blossoms. We then went to a shrine where we got special access to the temple. We came out and received e a special blessing and wooden deer statue. Our third stop was on a mountain where we were able to see the town and our guide gave us more than enough deer crackers to feed the deer. There were hardly any people here so we had full access to enjoy this activity without the crowd. I unfortunately did not write our driver’s name down but he was spectacular! I don’t know how he was able to so skillfully navigate the small roads up to the place we fed the deer. Masako was a delight. She was very knowledgeable about the places we visited and extremely helpful when people had questions or concerns. Considering this was a last minute decision to do this tour, if we had to do it again, I would highly recommend it (and I would book in advance as well if we did it again)! Thank you for such a lovely and remarkable event! We will be talking about this for years to come!
