What you can expect

Discover the highlights of Nara and Uji on a day trip from Osaka. Feed the friendly deer in the maple forest at Nara Park, visit the Todai-ji Temple, and explore the Kasuga Taisha Shrine. Then, head to Uji to see the Byodo-in Temple and relax in the Genji no Yu hot spring.

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.

Visit the Todai-ji Temple, a world-famous historic temple housing the Great Buddha of Nara. Explore the Kasuga Taisha Shrine, a stunning Shinto shrine renowned for its thousands of bronze and stone lanterns.

Package A: Nara + Uji Sightseeing (without Uji Onsen)
Head to Uji and explore the streets lined with matcha ice cream, cakes, and even matcha-colored soba noodles. For literary enthusiasts, Uji is a cultural haven where the final ten chapters of the classic Japanese novel The Tale of Genji are set.

Choose to visit the Byodo-in Omotesando and Byodo-in Temple, a masterpiece of Heian-era pond garden architecture, or the Tale of Genji Museum. Using advanced multimedia and high-definition visuals, the museum vividly introduces the allure and narrative of The Tale of Genji.

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. With three indoor baths and an outdoor bath, it provides a relaxing escape.(If you have a tattoo, you may not be able to enter the onsen, special reminder: In Japan, wearing any clothing is not allowed when swimming in hot springs.)
