Best way to visit Nara in the summer
We did the family tour to the Nara Park with e-bikes and the experience was fantastic. It was warm weather and e-bikes are the best way to visit the park while not suffering too much from the heat. The guide was fantastic, and the whole experience was great for all the family. 100% recommended regardless of the age of your kids (they have small e-bikes if needed and kids seats if they can't ride an e-bike).
