About 1-day tour of Nara Park + Kyoto's ancient capital + Fushimi Inari Taisha with adorable deer interaction Day Tours

Local Legends & Stories

According to local myth, the sika deer of Nara are considered sacred messengers of the Shinto gods, believed to have been summoned by a deity who arrived on a white deer to protect the newly built capital. At Fushimi Inari, the thousands of torii gates were donated by merchants praying for prosperity, with the fox statues serving as messengers to Inari, the god of rice and commerce.

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

Early morning departures are ideal for beating the heavy crowds at Fushimi Inari and Nara Park, especially during the popular spring cherry blossom and autumn foliage seasons. While the tour operates daily year-round, visiting in April or November offers the most spectacular natural scenery, though you should book well in advance due to high demand.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

Capture the endless tunnel of vermilion gates at Fushimi Inari by shooting from a low angle and focusing on the pathway leading upward.
When photographing the Nara deer, get down to their eye level and use a fast shutter speed to capture their playful bows and movements.
Take wide-angle shots from the wooden balcony of Kiyomizu-dera to frame the temple's intricate architecture against the lush Kyoto hillside.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

When visiting the shrines and temples, it is respectful to bow slightly before passing through torii gates and to avoid walking directly in the center of the paths, which are reserved for the gods. While feeding the deer is encouraged, please do not tease them, feed them human food, or chase them, as they are protected wild animals. Tipping is not customary in Japan, so simply express your gratitude to your guide with a polite thank you or a slight bow.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

Experience the magical Nara Tokae Lantern Festival in August, where thousands of candles illuminate the park and temple grounds after dark.
Visit during the Gozan no Okuribi in mid-August, when giant bonfires are lit on the mountains surrounding Kyoto to guide ancestral spirits.
Enjoy the breathtaking cherry blossom viewing season in early April when both Nara Park and the hills of Kyoto are blanketed in pink.

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

Keep your belongings secure and avoid waving plastic bags or maps in Nara Park, as the deer may mistake them for food and try to eat them.
Watch your step on the uneven stone paths and steep staircases at Kiyomizu-dera and Fushimi Inari, especially if the weather is wet.
Stay hydrated and use sun protection during the summer months, as walking between the shrines and park areas can be physically demanding.

About 1-day tour of Nara Park + Kyoto's ancient capital + Fushimi Inari Taisha with adorable deer interaction Day Tours

Nara Park is located on the east side of Nara City, at the foot of Mount Kasuga. The park has beautiful and picturesque scenery all year round. Hundreds of wild sika deer live in the open meadows. Around the park are Todaiji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine. Close to the lovely sika deer park, the scenery is pleasant, with twigs sprouting in spring, maple leaves in autumn, and it is also suitable for leisurely strolls in other seasons. It is easy to see deer in Nara, and Nara Park is a place where deer herds are more concentrated, so some people call it "Sika Deer Park". In the park, flocks of sika deer can be seen everywhere, and it is a great pleasure for tourists to come into close contact with them. The deer are either silently foraging on the grass, or play with each other, or come to you and bend their heads to rub against you, which is very lovable. There are quite a few stalls selling deer cakes here, you can buy some to feed the deer. The clever little deer will follow you as soon as it smells the deer cake in your hand. Visiting quaint temples and shrines In addition to the lovely herds of deer, the temples and shrines around the park are also attractive places for tourists. The babbling waters, ponds and creeks also add color to the park, and the large roofs and towers of the temple can be seen looming in the woods. To the north is Todaiji Temple. Its majestic Great Buddha Hall is the largest wooden ancient building in the world. In the hall, you can see a huge bronze Buddha statue. You can also overlook the scenery of Nara when you walk to Ergakudo. At the foot of Kasuga Mountain in the southeast, there is Kasuga Taisha Shrine, surrounded by lush and beautiful vegetation, which looks ancient and natural. Thousands of lanterns are lit on both sides of the stone road leading to the main hall during the Wan Lantern Festival in February and August every year, creating a wonderful sacred scene that is very unforgettable. In addition, attractions such as Nara National Museum, Yisui Garden, and Kofukuji Temple are also nearby.
