Beschreibung
Discover the serenity of Nara on a guided tour. Visit Todai-ji Temple, stroll through Nara Park, and enjoy a kaiseki meal at Kikusuiro. Explore Isuien Garden, a masterpiece of Japanese landscaping.
Step into a different rhythm as you arrive in Nara, Japan’s first permanent capital. Travel from Kyoto by train, passing through fields of green and gold, and find yourself in a city that whispers with sacred age.
Stroll through wide, slow streets shaded by cherry and maple trees. Listen to the gentle clatter of a bicycle passing by and the occasional trill of a cicada. Watch as deer roam freely through the parks and temple grounds, moving as if time bends gently around them.
Visit Todai-ji, a monumental wooden structure housing the Great Buddha, a serene figure that has gazed upon visitors for more than a millennium. Enter the temple grounds and feel a shift as the air thickens with reverence.
Admire the Great Buddha, or Daibutsu, a bronze statue towering nearly 15 meters high. His face radiates calm, eyes lowered not in superiority but in infinite compassion. Walk along wide and smooth walkways, accessible for those who prefer gentle strolls or require assistance.
Take a break on benches lining the shaded paths, allowing time for contemplation. Beyond the temple, explore Nara Park, where deer — considered messengers of the gods — bow politely for crackers offered by visitors.
After wandering through ancient grounds, enjoy a kaiseki dining experience at a restaurant like Kikusuiro, set in a restored teahouse near the foot of Wakakusa Hill. Savor a multi-course meal that feels more like art than sustenance, with each dish crafted to reflect the season.
Visit Isuien Garden, a masterpiece of Japanese landscaping. Admire two ponds that mirror the sky, linked by tiny bridges and surrounded by manicured shrubs. Stop at a small teahouse at the edge of the garden, inviting you to rest, sip matcha, and simply gaze.
