This is more than a walk in the park—it’s a journey into the secret rhythms of Nara’s sacred deer. While most visitors encounter Nara’s deer near busy temples, this tour takes you deeper: into the peaceful slopes of Mount Wakakusa, where the deer retreat each evening. Recent studies show that these animals actually “commute” between human areas and their natural home. This tour follows their path. Starting from Himuro Shrine, you’ll pass through deer-filled Nara Park and ascend the gentle trails of Mount Wakakusa, a sacred hill burned each spring in a ritual that keeps its grass low—perfect for grazing and walking. Your expert guide will share insights into the spiritual bond between the deer, the land, and local traditions. The reward? Close-up encounters with wild deer, crisp mountain air, and sweeping views over Nara’s temples from the summit. Away from the crowds, this is a rare and serene way to experience the true spirit of Nara.

This bike tour is based on our most popular tour, Nara Highlights, but reserved for families with kids with adult-size E-bikes and kids-size bikes. Child seats are available for non-riding kids and infants as well. As it is a private family tour, you can be sure that your guide will take extra care of your group, adjusting and adapting the tour based on your preferences. Pour la demande de guide francophone: Nous ne pouvons pas garantir la francophonie pour un tour partagée, car mélangeant plusieurs nationalités, la priorité deviendra l'anglais. Tous nos guides parlent au minimum anglais et japonais, ce qui veut dire que le français sera une langue supplémentaire. Le guide pourra donc alterner entre anglais et français si nécessaire. Pour garantir la disponibilité du guide francophone à la date souhaitée, veuillez nous contacter à l'avance, afin que nous puissions confirmer qu'un guide francophone est toujours disponible pour votre date de réservation. Merci pour votre compréhension.
