Nara’s temples are older and stranger than most of Kyoto’s, and the backstory, why the deer are sacred and why the Buddha’s hall was rebuilt smaller, needs someone to tell it. An English-speaking driver-guide does that and collects you from your hotel.
Journey through Japan's cultural treasures in Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara with an English driver guide for an exclusive and enlightening experience.
“This was a very good tour of Kyoto. Our driver guide, Hassan was very helpful and tried to get us to all places we wanted to see.”
