Enjoy Nara easily by using a sightseeing bus!

This is a sightseeing bus tour departing from Nara. While there are many tourist attractions relatively close to the station, it would be a long walk to get to all of them. This sightseeing bus tour is recommended as it has parking lots in convenient locations for sightseeing and the walking distances are short. Whether you are visiting Nara for the first time or have been Nara many times, you will enjoy the tour even more than usual with an English guide.
