Our Favourites
[Todaiji Temple] Todaiji Temple, one of the most famous temples in Japan, is visited by many tourists from overseas every year. It is also famous for being the home of the world's largest Buddha statue, known as the "Great Buddha of Nara." The Great Buddha, which is said to have been built 1,300 years ago to eradicate a major epidemic, successfully cured the epidemic after its construction, and brought peaceful days to the people, and has remained the center of Japanese faith to this day.
[Imanishi Seibei Shoten] A liquor store run by the brewer of the famous dry sake brand "Harushika" offers a tasting set. Try tasting the subtle differences in flavor that even Japanese people find difficult to distinguish.
[Naramachi Brewery] Nara Prefecture is also famous as a land of sake, with the first temple in Japan to obtain a sake brewing license and a shrine where the god of sake brewing is enshrined. You can enjoy tasting different types of beer at a place where craft beer is brewed. (The tasting set fee is included in the tour fee.)
