Nice experience
The bike ride was very excellent. Nara by bike was nice. The guide Robert was very nice en explained some background.
You can book it directly by Japan Tour adventure.
Mostly deer/Nara Park, but a nice afternoon anyway
A lovely afternoon out, though quite heavy on the Nara Park experience and lighter on the temples/knife aspect. We were a large-ish group in a crowd and it was sometimes hard to get a real history background on the locality (the deer were also a distraction) and the knife store visit was just that -- not a special event per se.
