Osaka: Nara, Todaiji, Uji Matcha, and Hot Spring Tour

See the iconic landmarks of Nara and Kyoto in one day with roundtrip transportation from Osaka. Encounter deers at Nara Park, see a grand Buddha statue at Todaiji, stroll through the Uji Matcha street, find peace in natural hot springs, and more. After meeting your driver/guide, head to Nara Park, home to thousands of freely roaming deer, at the foot of Mt. Wakakusa in Nara City. Get some crackers to feed the deer, take a stroll through the urban park, or grab a snack from one of the many tea houses around. Reach the Todaiji Temple or the “Great Eastern Temple”. Discover a priceless trove of history and culture at this UNESCO World Heritage Site. See one of Japan's most famous and historically significant Buddhist temple complexes. Enter the Daibutsuden to see a 15-meter-tall bronze statue of Buddha. Next, head to Uji Matcha Street, a foodie's paradise full of matcha ice cream, matcha cakes, and even soba noodles that are matcha green. Explore the time-honored Matcha stores recommended by your guide at the sacred site of green tea. Finally, make your way to the only natural hot spring in Uji, with water springing from 1111 meters underground. Admire the traditional Japanese architecture and enjoy a moment of relaxation and peace.(if you have tattoo is large, entry into Japanese hot springs is not permitted.)
