The Todajii Temple is an amazing sight and one not to be missed. And if you add on the chance to feed the wild deer (who don’t seem all that wild!) it made for a great afternoon.

History, old temples, landscapes, and off course the deers. We have a wonderful Japanese Yoshtara tour guide that told about history and made the trip interesting.

Great tour, very organized but not enough time at each location. Too fast at first temple. Gorgeous locations.

Nice short trip. Good to see the temple and feed the deers. Guide was good. Thanks. I think a little more should be spent on English speaking guides. No doubt they are good and very polite and helpful.
