Visit Nara, the first capital of Japan, and the Shinto shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha when you join us on this wonderful tour. This beautiful location served as a film set for the film “Memories of a Geisha”.
Nara and Inari Tour
After collecting you from your hotel, we will take a train to Inari to visit the Fushimi Inari-taisha temple.
Fushimi Inari-taisha is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the deity Inari, associated with fertility, rice, agriculture, and successful business. With about 1000 gorgeous torii gates lining the path along the hill, you might recognize this striking location from the film ‘Memories of a Geisha’.
Our next stop will be Nara which was the first capital in Japan (between 710 and 784). It was during this era that the grand temples on our itinerary were built: Kōfuku-ji (with a spectacular pagoda), Todai-ji (the largest wooden structure in the world) and the Kasuga Grand Shrine.
After the cultural visit, we will dedicate ourselves to touring the majestic park of Nara which is full of red deer – the ancient messengers of the gods.
The tour will end at the intersection of Sanjo dori street and Higashimuki Shopping Arcade at around 12.30 pm to 1 pm.
