Top 10 Nara Tours, Japan | Nara Tours from Kyoto/Osaka

Discover the ancient Nara, located in the Kansai region of Japan. As Japan’s first permanent capital, it's a place where history and culture blend seamlessly with nature. This ancient city, less than an hour from Kyoto and Osaka, offers a unique opportunity to step back in time and explore centuries-old temples, peaceful gardens, and sacred deer roaming freely. Nara is home to eight World Heritage sites, making it Japan's second-largest cultural heritage capital after Kyoto.

Our Nara Tours are designed to showcase the best of this historic city, from the majestic Todai-ji Temple, home to the world’s largest bronze Buddha, to the tranquil paths of Nara Park, where sacred deer roam freely among visitors. Experience the serene beauty of the Kasuga-Taisha Shrine, adorned with thousands of ancient lanterns, and explore the remains of the Heijo Palace, where emperors once walked.  Additionally, enjoy the scenic views from Mt. Wakakusa, a grass-covered hill that offers panoramic views of Nara and is especially beautiful when lit up during the annual Yamayaki festival.

Each Nara tour is led by knowledgeable guides who bring the rich tapestry of Nara’s history to life through fascinating stories and insights. Whether you're seeking a full-day excursion or a more specialized adventure, our tours offer a comprehensive way to experience Nara’s unique blend of natural beauty and historical significance.

Join us! Whether you're looking for Nara Tours from Kyoto or Nara Tours from Osaka, Nara Walking Tours, or Nara Day Trips, we have the perfect option for you. Book your Nara tours for 2025 today!

Our Hokkaido Summer Trip Was The Perfect Escape

I’m so glad we chose to do this tour! We were looking for a way to escape the summer heat, and Hokkaido was a dream come true. The air was so fresh and the scenery was just incredible—I swear my photos don’t even do it justice.

The highlight for me was definitely the lavender fields in Furano. They were even more beautiful in person than in all the pictures you see online. Our private guide knew the best spots to get a great view without fighting the crowds. Plus, we got to see all the other rainbow flower fields in Biei which were just as amazing.

The trip was super relaxing because we didn't have to worry about a thing. Our driver was so professional, and it was a huge relief to have a private car just for our family. It made getting between all the different towns so easy. We loved exploring the charming canal in Otaru and getting to eat all the fresh seafood in Sapporo. The food in Hokkaido is seriously on another level!

Our Japan Trip: Way Better Than I Expected!

My family and I just got back from the 8-day Classic Japan tour with Asia Odyssey Travel, and honestly, it was amazing. We were a bit worried about the price at first, but it was totally worth it. The best part was how smooth everything was—we didn't have to stress about a single thing.

The itinerary was perfect. Tokyo was crazy fun, and our guide did a great job showing us all the main spots like Shibuya Crossing and Senso-ji Temple. The day trip to Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi was breathtaking, and the views were just insane. Kyoto was exactly what we pictured, with all the beautiful temples and the Gion area. We loved just walking around and soaking it all in.

What I really appreciated was the flexibility. Our guide was super chill and let us spend extra time at places we loved, like the Tsukiji Outer Market. It felt less like a rigid tour and more like traveling with a friend who knows the country inside and out. Having a private tour for just our group was a game-changer—no waiting for 40 other people on a bus, which was a huge relief.

Even though the website didn't list every single detail, everything was handled professionally, from the hotels to the transport. It was a fantastic experience and I would 100% recommend it, especially if you're a first-timer to Japan and want to see the best of the country without the usual travel headaches.

Finally Saw Mt. Fuji in Real Life

I joined the Mount Fuji Private Tour from Tokyo and honestly, it was one of the best days of my trip!

The driver picked us up right from our hotel in Tokyo, which was super convenient. No stress about trains or transfers. On the way, we could already see glimpses of Mt. Fuji, and by the time we reached the 5th Station, wow… it was breathtaking. Standing there, halfway up the mountain, looking at the peak disappearing into the clouds—it felt surreal.

Next stop was Lake Kawaguchi, and that’s where I really fell in love with the view. The lake was calm like a mirror, perfectly reflecting Mt. Fuji. It’s the kind of place where you just want to sit down, relax, and soak it all in. Of course, we took a million photos, but honestly, the view itself is unforgettable.

What I liked most was the pace—since it was a private tour, we weren’t rushed at all. We could take our time at each spot, stop for coffee or snacks, and even adjust the schedule a bit. The guide was friendly, spoke great English, and also helped us find the best photo angles (and even took some group shots for us!).
