What you can expect

The Heart Of Nature Tour includes the top of Wakakusayama, the hidden temple of Kofukuji, Uguisunotaki Waterfall, and the Kasugayama Primeval Forest and its Buddhist statues carved in stone. You also make a brief stop, before leaving the city, by the very well-known katana and actual Japanese cooking knife maker, Kikuichi. The tour provides a unique vision of the Japanese countryside in Nara Prefecture. This tour includes a lunch break and a light morning snack.
Fitness and stamina are important to enjoy this tour to the fullest, but as it is not a race, everyone is free to go at their own pace. Please keep in mind that you will be spending about 4 hours in the forest and mountain. Thank you.

The tour is a 10:00 A.M departure and will usually finish by 15:00 ~ 16:00.
Welcome to Nara, Everyone.
