    Meet your guide at Nihonbashi Station and receive a complimentary pack of deer crackers. Enjoy feeding the friendly deer in the maple forest at Nara Park. Located at the base of Wakakusa Mountain in Nara City, this urban park is home to famous landmarks such as Todai-ji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine.

    Stroll through the park and see the highest concentration of deer. The deer here are intelligent and may approach you if they see deer crackers in your hand, so be mindful of excited groups of deer.

    Package B: Nara + Uji Sightseeing + Uji Hot Spring
    Head to Genji no Yu, Uji's only natural hot spring, offering a serene Japanese-style swimming experience. The spring water is drawn from 1,111 metres underground, and the facility's traditional architecture creates a tranquil ambiance.
