Experience Overview
Before the capital of Japan moved to Kyoto, Nara served as the original capital and was home to the Heijo Palace. On this 6-hour journey, you will take a leisurely ride through this captivating city on a Brompton bicycle, accompanied by a local guide who knows the area well. Your first stop is the Heijo Palace Site Historical Park, where you will view a restored 8th-century palace.
From there, you will make your way to Nara Park, home to over 1,300 sacred deer designated as natural monuments. Surrounding the park, you will find Kofuku-ji Temple, Todai-ji Temple, and Kasuga Taisha Shrine—all registered as UNESCO World Heritage Sites under the name ‘Cultural Properties of Ancient Nara.’ These famous landmarks offer a fascinating glimpse into Japan’s history and culture. Because these sites are quite spread out, exploring by bicycle allows you to efficiently enjoy sightseeing and interact with the deer at various spots without getting tired from walking!
