  Extended tour

  Extended tour fees are 6-Hour Tour: total JPY33,000, 8-Hour Tour: JPY38,000

  Additional site

  Horyu-ji Temple, the oldest wooden structure in the world, is approximately 20-minutes from JR Nara Station. This visit requires another full one-hour to/from Nara Station. Thus, in order to include Horyu-ji Temple visit within the one-hour extended tour, we may shorten the Naramachi area visit.
