Can I get off the bus before the tour ends?

Yes. You can disembark at Kofukuji Temple or the Nara Convention Center if you would rather keep exploring on your own. Otherwise, the bus drops you back at Kintetsu Nara Station or JR Nara Station at the end of the route.

What is the Nara-Yamatoji 2-Day Pass that comes with the tour?

It gives you unlimited rides on local buses within the designated area on the day of use and the following day, so you can keep sightseeing around Nara after the tour. You also receive an original handkerchief with it.

Will I get to interact with the deer?

Yes. Each participant receives a set of deer crackers at the Mt. Wakakusa summit, where you can feed the local deer while enjoying the panoramic view of Nara City.

Can I change my boarding location after booking?

Yes. On the day before or the day of your tour, go directly to your new preferred boarding location ahead of the scheduled departure, show your voucher to the driver or staff, and board there.

What is the bus like?

The bus has three rows of independent seats, which keeps the ride relaxed and comfortable. The tour operator notes that the bus type may vary depending on circumstances.
