Your Experience

Embark on a guided cycling tour around the city of Nara. Discover some of its significant landmarks, including Nara Park, Kasuga Taisha Shrine, Tōdai-ji, and a Knife Company original shop.

Meet your guide at our Cross bike base called "Japan Tour Adventure in Nara" on Google Maps, and after a short introduction and safety briefing, you will be ready to set off. Put your helmet on, jump on your bike, and head off to discover the beauty of the city.

Admire the beautiful scenery of Nara Park as you ride along at a relaxed pace. See the friendly deer who roam freely within the park and take in the views of the beautifully maintained surroundings.

Stop at the Todai-ji Temple and learn more about Buddhism and Shinto culture with your guide. Stroll through its grounds and gaze in awe at the 15-meter-tall giant Buddha statue.

Next, head to the Kasuga Taisha Shrine to see its thousand lanterns. Then, continue to the Kikuichi store, a high-end Japanese cooking knife retailer, before heading back to the starting point.
