What you can expect

Discover Nara in a dynamic and effortless way on this guided e-bike tour, designed to combine cultural depth with a smooth ride through the city’s most iconic landmarks. Led by knowledgeable local guides, this experience prioritises comfort and safety by following quiet backstreets and scenic paths, avoiding heavy traffic and crowded routes whenever possible.

Your journey begins at our e-bike base, where you’ll receive a short introduction to your bike and safety guidelines. Once ready, set off towards Nara’s historic heart, cycling first to the impressive Nandaimon Gate, the grand entrance to the Todaiji temple complex. Continue into Nara Park, where you’ll enjoy a memorable deer feeding experience—special cookies are provided, giving you a chance to interact with the park’s famous free-roaming deer.

Next, visit the majestic Todaiji Temple, home to the awe-inspiring Great Buddha statue, one of Japan’s most significant cultural treasures. From there, ride to Kikuichi Monjushiro Kanenaga, a historic knife-making company. Here, you’ll gain insight into Japanese craftsmanship, samurai-era traditions, and the evolution of culinary knives, with your guide assisting you should you wish to explore or shop.

The tour continues towards the serene Kasuga Taisha, a Shinto shrine renowned for its lantern-lined pathways and deep spiritual atmosphere, nestled within the forest.

Lasting approximately 3.5 hours, this tour is suitable for most riders. Participants must be at least 145 cm tall to use an e-bike. Smaller guests are welcome and may ride a standard bicycle without electric assistance. Child seats are available for children up to 7 years old, making this an accessible experience for families as well.

This e-bike tour offers a well-balanced blend of history, nature, and local expertise—an efficient and engaging way to explore the highlights of Nara.
