Wakakusa, where the entire mountain is covered in grass and offers a magnificent view, guided in English by a professional guide-interpreter selected by our company.
  • You can rest assured that we are the largest bus company in the region. We operate buses with three rows of independent seats, so you can travel efficiently and comfortably around the famous sites of Nara. (The type of bus may change depending on circumstances.)

  • At the summit of Mt. Wakakusa, you will enjoy a panoramic view of Nara city and have the opportunity to feed deer crackers to the deer in Nara Park.
  • As a special bonus, you will receive a "Nara-Yamatoji 2-Day Pass", which allows you to ride local buses within the designated area on the day and the following day, as well as a special original handkerchief.
