Visite à pied d'une journée de l'incroyable capitale Nara du 8ème siècle
Description
Nara était la capitale du Japon au 8ème siècle avant Kyoto et se situe à une heure de train d’Osaka ou de Kyoto. Au cours de cette visite, nous nous promènerons le matin dans une ville du XIXe siècle, puis nous visiterons un sanctuaire solennel caché dans la forêt et un immense temple, tous deux fondés au VIIIe siècle. En plus de cela, nous aurons des rencontres intéressantes avec les cerfs sauvages mais sympathiques qui errent dans le parc de Nara. Dans cette visite, vous pourrez apprécier la différence entre Nara et Kyoto, le développement de la culture, de l'architecture et des modes de vie à ces deux périodes de l'histoire japonaise. Nous viendrons vous chercher à Osaka ou à Kyoto afin que le transfert à Nara ne pose aucun problème.

Itinéraire
Nous commencerons notre visite en visitant la région de Naramachi, qui a été fondée au 8ème siècle comme ville-temple et transformée en une ville marchande. Les maisons de style traditionnel de 100 ans et plus sont bien conservées ici. Nous allons en fait entrer dans l’un d’entre eux qui appartenait jadis à un riche marchand et explorer son intérieur luxueux. Il raconte comment les Japonais vivaient il y a cent ans. D'autre part, vous pouvez également trouver de nouveaux magasins parmi les vieilles maisons gérées par de jeunes marchands d'aujourd'hui vendant des accessoires mignons. Profitez de la combinaison de la culture du 19ème et du 21ème siècle.
Ce sanctuaire a été fondé au 8ème siècle par le clan Fujiwara, la plus puissante famille aristocratique de l'histoire japonaise. Même aujourd'hui, le grand prêtre de Kasuga est un descendant de cette famille. La divinité consacrée ici a été invitée à Ibaragi, à environ 500 km, et a fait tout le trajet à cheval sur le dos d'un cerf. C’est pourquoi les cerfs de Nara sont considérés comme les messagers de la divinité et ont été très bien traités.
Ce temple, fondé par l'empereur Shomu il y a plus de 1 300 ans, est classé au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Construit sous le mont. Wakakusa, dans son immense enceinte, abrite de nombreux bâtiments historiques, dont certains sont des trésors nationaux. La salle principale abritant de gigantesques statues de Bouddha est le plus grand bâtiment en bois du monde. Vous pouvez imaginer la passion de l'empereur qui a construit ce temple souhaitant la stabilité et la prospérité de son pays.

Satomi was knowledgeable and extremely flexible. I diverted our trip to the Nara National Museum, for which she hadn't prepared at all, and she was still able to help me around and give insight into the exhibits. She even helped us find a good spot for dinner after the tour. Highly recommend.
Thank you very much for your kind review! We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed your time with Satomi. She always does her best to accommodate guests’ interests, so we’re happy to know that even the spontaneous visit to the Nara National Museum turned out to be a meaningful experience.
Emi Rigano was great. She was flexible and took care of us. We did not realize that this was a personalized tour. We hope to have the tour decription more detailed and precise for future travelers 😊. Overall, it was a pleasant and relaxing tour with Emi's help.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review! We are happy to hear that you had a pleasant time with Emi in Nara. It says in the itinerary that it is a private tour. It's not a customized tour, though. Sorry to hear that you didn't realize it.
It has been a excellent and productive day and it’s all thanks to Tomoko who accompanied me from Kyoto station to Nara where I visited the amazing 8 th capital which was wonderful than to temple and shrines and thanks to Tomoko again who took time out to accompany to inari shrines which was mesmerising. Tomoko is very knowledgeable and at every point she explained about the Japanese culture and deity’s and their significance. A great learning experience I must say. I highly recommend Tomoko for this tours and definitely I’m coming back. Thanks Arigato gozaimashita
This tour was amazing. Tomoko was very knowledgeable of Japanese history and she was very accommodating to my husband who has a bad knee. I guess our favorite part of the day was the Todai.Ji temple and all the deer. We also loved walking through the old town and learning more about the traditional architecture.
This tour is a must do. Our guide Tomoko was very knowledgeable about Japan history. I much appreciated how accommodating she was for my husband who has a bad knee. There were so many great experiences, that it’s hard to pick a favorite.
We're grateful for your kind review and delighted to hear that you had an enjoyable time in Nara. Great to know that Tomoko took good care of you two.
Learned more about the old capital of Japan. Nice to see Deers roaming around and it's significance of this place.
We very much appreciate your taking the time to write a review! Happy to hear that you enjoyed the old capital with the deer everywhere.
It was an amazing tour . I took around 100 pictures . We tested Sake , saw incredible Tempels and fed the Deers. I had a lot of fun.
We're so grateful for your positive review and happy to hear that you enjoyed Nara, the deer and Japanese sake! Enjoy the rest or your stay in Japan!
Our guide, Fumiko was an exceptional guide. She was very informative and her knowledge of Japanese culture and history made our tour enjoyable. Fumiko answered all our questions and was helpful to us on gaining insight on the places we visited. She was promptly on time, professional and made sure of our safety the whole time we were together. Her recommendations on food and places to see were spot on along with other tips.
We're thrilled to receive your wonderful review and happy to hear that you had a good time in Nara and enjoyed the sites and the food. Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review!
We absolutely loved Nara. Feeding the deer was unique experience but see the largest wooden structure and the enormous Buddha was my particular favorite 😍 Thank you to our guide Noriko - she was amazing and fun!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a positive review! We are thrilled to know that you loved Nara and your tour with Noriko. Nara has a different feel from Kyoto, doesn't it?
Nara was our favorite place in Osaka. Our native guide Norika made our tour so very special. She picked us at the hotel and it was a fun-filled day. Norika is a knowledgeable, patient, sweet and lovely guide. The best walking tour guide we had in Japan. She went above and beyond to give us a cultural experience. She took us the breathtaking Nara Park, Kasuga Grand Shrine, Todai-ji Temple, and areas around Nara. She was extremely entertaining for my kids. Shin'ainaru Noriko-san, wasurerarenai tsuitachi o arigatō.
Your review has brightened our day! We are so happy to know that you and your family enjoyed your day in Nara with Noriko :) Thank you for your kind words.
