Top Nara Prefecture Multi-day Tours

Escape the hustle and bustle of central Nara, Kyoto, and Osaka, and visit the traditional Japanese village of Asuka. Just a one-hour train ride brings you to this charming village, where beautiful pastoral landscapes remain alongside ancient kofun (tumuli) and the remnants of palaces and temples that whisper tales of a bygone era. Accompanied by your English-speaking guide, explore the period when Japan first developed its governmental and cultural foundations. Cultural experiences include a soy sauce brewery visit, plant dyeing, a visit to a local farm, and a special viewing of traditional performing arts with opportunities to interact with local preservation society members. Stay in BRANCHERA VILLA ASUKA which utilizes 150 year-old traditional Japanese folk house equipped with modern interior to feel like you live in this small charming village with quaint atmosphere (subject to change, depending on the availability).
