A beautiful tour in Nara!!!!

We did a 4 hours tour through the main park in Nara. Shigeki is a very welcoming guy that make us feel good from the first minutes of the tour. We really suggest him as your guide to understand better the heritage and costume of japan temple! Thank you again, and kind regards from Italy

Beautiful day in Nara with a special guide

Shigeki, our guide for the afternoon, is a sweet man in his 60’, who even suggested us to change the time of our tour from the morning to the afternoon so that we could enjoy the candle’s festival and the opening of the budda’s temple. From the day we made our booking he started organising every detail, giving us some suggestions for dinner time and how to arrive to Nara and when it was time for us to go he even helped us booking the train tickets. We had a beautiful tour in Nara!
