Join us for a hands-on cultural adventure in Japan! This guided experience takes you into the usually off-limits main hall of Hasedera Temple, where you’ll get the rare chance to touch the feet of a massive hidden Buddha — a meaningful and unforgettable moment.

After the temple visit, relax and enjoy a traditional Japanese lunch in a beautifully restored old house. The meal includes Nara’s famous kakinoha sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) and colorful chirashi sushi made with local ingredients.

You’ll also stop by a cultural restoration center, where craftspeople work to preserve ancient statues, paintings, and more. Throughout the day, your local English-speaking guide will share stories and insights about the area’s culture, history, and traditions.

To make things easy, a free round-trip shuttle is included from set meeting spots. Whether you’re exploring solo, with a partner, or with family, this experience is a fun and meaningful way to connect with the real Japan.
