Il programma nel dettaglio

Upon arrival, take a relaxing stroll through Nara Park and come face-to-face with wild deer, a rarity in Japan and even worldwide. You will soon find yourself admiring one of the world’s largest wooden structures: Todai-ji Temple, the symbol of the Nara Period. As you take in the size of the temple, in the main hall, you will also be able to appreciate the largest bronze Buddha statue in the world: The Great Buddha, a sight to behold.
Next, make your way over to the Kasuga Taisha Shrine, Nara's most celebrated shrine.
