About This Tour
What sets this tour apart is the rare combination of guided insight, scenic harmony, and immersive tradition—all in one serene location. Unlike typical garden visits, this experience includes not only a walk through one of Nara’s most beautifully preserved historical gardens, but also a carefully guided exploration of its unique design, history, and the art of shakkei (borrowed scenery). You'll learn how the garden uses nature and architecture to craft living works of art—then sit down to enjoy freshly prepared matcha in the building with the finest view of the garden. It’s a tour that brings Japanese beauty to life through sight, story, and taste.
