7 Best Food Tours in Nara
Nara’s food claims are bigger than you’d expect: Shoryaku-ji, a temple just outside the city, is often called the birthplace of refined sake. Try kakinoha-zushi too, mackerel or salmon pressed onto rice and wrapped in a persimmon leaf.
See Nara’s deer, Todaiji, Uji’s matcha quarter and Fushimi Inari in one day, with transfers and an English or Chinese-speaking guide.
