Kyoto and Nara tour with sake tasting

Explore the cultural and historical treasures of Kyoto and Nara with a knowledgeable local guide and private car. Your adventure begins in Kyoto, the former imperial capital, where you’ll visit the iconic Kinkakuji Temple, also known as the Golden Pavilion. Originally a Shogun’s retirement villa, this shimmering, gold-leaf-covered temple is a symbol of Kyoto’s elegance and history.

A private transfer from your hotel is ready to take you to Nara, Japan’s first permanent capital, steeped in 8th-century charm. Marvel at the Todaiji Temple, the world’s largest wooden structure which houses Japan’s largest Buddha statue, a breathtaking centrepiece of Japanese spiritual heritage. Stroll through the serene grounds of Kasuga Taisha Shrine, renowned for its hundreds of bronze and stone lanterns, creating a magical atmosphere.

The experience continues with a visit to Nara Park, affectionately known as "Deer Park." Here, over 1,000 friendly, free-roaming deer provide a unique and enchanting encounter, embodying the harmony between nature and culture in Japan.

Cap off your journey at Harushika Sake Brewery, where you’ll sample three exquisite varieties of local sake. This tasting experience offers a delightful insight into Japan’s centuries-old sake-making traditions, providing a perfect ending to your culturally immersive adventure.
