DAY01

Osaka / Kyoto - Nara City

The highlight of the first day is a private light-up lantern experience at Kasugataisha Shrine.

At night, after closing the gate for the day, receive a privately escorted tour of the shrine by a priest. Offer a special prayer in areas usually off limits to the public, and light hanging lanterns to display in the shrine. This is an original program that no other travel agencies could offer. Witness the fantastic sight of a thousand hanging lanterns lighting up the vermillion-colored shrine, all to yourself. You will never forget these extraordinary experiences in Japan!
DAY02

Nara City - Osaka / Kyoto

The highlights on the second day are visiting a Japanese sword forge and getting into a sumo ring.

At the forge, receive a private lesson with a swordsmith sharing their secrets, demonstrating how to make a masterpiece. The sight of flickering sparks in the fire is mesmerizing. Also learn from the smith how to appreciate real Japanese swords. By carefully observing the “hamon” (blade pattern), you can see whether a sword is made from a mass of iron.

In the rare sumo experience we have for you, watch the amateur wrestlers bout and train before your very own eyes. After that, it’s your turn to jump into the ring for a match! Have fun putting on a loincloth or a sumo costume, and competing with real sumo wrestlers!
