Hōryū-ji was my first visit to a temple since my elementary school field trip, and I was able to explore efficiently with few other tourists around, which allowed for a calm sightseeing experience. The guide's explanations were also great. It was nice that they provided umbrellas when it started to rain.
法隆寺は小学校の修学旅行以来、他のお寺は初めて行くところでしたが、効率よくまわれ、他の観光客も少なかったので落ち着いて観光できました。ガイドさんの説明もよかったです。途中雨が降ってきた時には傘の貸し出しもよかったです。
手すりのない階段や徒歩が多いので歩きやすい靴で行くことをお勧めします。

Most of the participants were foreigners, but I was moved to be able to experience a part of the traditional culture. I also thought it was wonderful to have the opportunity to ask questions to the maiko. I took this chance to ask my questions. Behind the glamorous facade, there are rigorous training practices, and hearing about that made me acutely aware of the challenges of preserving traditional culture. I hope they continue to do their best in the future.

I used this service to celebrate my mother's 77th birthday.

When we boarded the boat, it was rocking quite a bit, and a few people who get motion sickness looked worried. However, once we started moving and eating the food, the rocking settled down, and no one felt unwell. We were able to enjoy ourselves!

I started planning the itinerary for my old friends, an American couple visiting Kyoto for the first time, and "Maiko-san's dance performance" was number one on their list of experiences they wanted to try. While searching online, I found Japan Cultural Experience An and immediately made a reservation.
At first, I was a bit anxious about booking online, but the staff was kind and the reservation process went smoothly. On the day of the event, we were greeted with smiles from all the staff, which made us smile as well. The explanations in English were easy to understand, and we had a very enjoyable experience together with the couple.
Thanks to this, I was able to create wonderful memories in Kyoto with my old friend, whom I hadn't seen in 30 years. Thank you very much!

This year, the autumn leaves were late, and by mid-November, they had just started to show some color. I thought it would be crowded with visitors during the tourist season in Nara, but perhaps because it was a bit far from Nara Station, I was able to visit the temples leisurely and comfortably. The guide's explanations were very enjoyable and impressive. I was able to visit calmly, and I had a happy time meeting many Buddha statues, including the Bodhisattva Hanka Shiwizō at Chūgū-ji. Thank you very much.

This was such an awesome experience. I learned so much and would take this again! The instructor spoke English and Japanese, was friendly, patient, and kind. I was able to choose a clear glass (I wanted a pink one but was told I could only choose clear sadly) and they had many additional options for an extra charge (also clear). They have stencils, or you are able to draw free hand on your glass. You are provided a piece of glass to practice on before you attempt your design. The setting was intimate with only 4 cutting machines (there were other studios that were larger on other floors) which I liked because it felt more personal. I didn't need glasses or an apron like I thought I might. You can take photos of your glass when you finish in a lit photo box which makes your pictures look amazing. The room was a little warm for me, but I brought a tiny hand fan with a stand and it was perfect. We were asked to remove our shoes and wear public slippers, so I recommend wearing socks.

It was sunny and hot at the time of departure, but by the time we arrived at Hōryū-ji, the weather started to look ominous, and by the time we visited Chūgū-ji, it had turned into light rain. However, thanks to this, we experienced a completely uncrowded and luxurious sightseeing trip.
I had checked the reviews before booking and was aware of the high reputation, but not only were the World Heritage sites, national treasures, and important cultural properties impressive, but the work and attentiveness of the bus guide and driver were also outstanding.
出発時は晴れて暑かったですけれど、最初に訪れた法隆寺に到着した頃から雲行きがあやしくなり、次に立ち寄った中宮寺からは小雨混じりの天候となりましたが、おかげでいずれも全く混み合うことのないがら空き状態で、本当に贅沢な観光となりました。

The instructor was guiding six people at once, so there was inevitably some waiting time, but the explanations were incredibly thorough and easy to understand, allowing even someone as clumsy as me to create something that looked good!
When it comes to grinding glass, it's natural to be cautious and worry about breaking it, but it seems that applying a bit more pressure actually helps achieve deeper cuts. Once you grasp the technique, you can cut to a certain extent as you wish, but be careful not to overdo it, as it can be difficult to fix mistakes if you get carried away.
I had already decided on the design I wanted to create from the beginning, so I didn't take many risks, but among the participants, there were those who thought, "Since I came all this way, I want to make something I really want to!" and challenged themselves with more complex designs (samples were provided).
In the end, we polished our finished pieces beautifully and took photos while lighting them. They sparkled and looked so beautiful; I was very satisfied.
お兄さん1人で6人いっぺんに指導するのでどうしても待ちが発生しますが、説明は凄く丁寧で分かりやすく、不器用な自分でもそれっぽく作ることができました!
ガラスを削るとなると、どうしても割れないようにと怖々削りがちになりますが、思い切って力を入れた方が深く削れて良かったみたいです。コツが掴めればある程度思ったように削れたりもしますが、調子に乗って長く削りすぎると修正がきかないのでそこだけはご注意を。。。
自分は作りたいデザインを始めから決めてたのであまりチャレンジはしなかったですが、参加者の中には「せっかく来たのだから出来そうなものより作りたいものを!」と複雑なデザインにチャレンジする方も(サンプルは用意してあります)。
最後は出来上がった作品をキレイに磨いてもらって、ライティングしながらの写真撮影。キラキラしてとてもキレイで大満足でした。

I walked a lot. The guide was experienced and the explanations were very good. It was a popular course, and I was glad to visit various places. If I had to say something, I felt that the lunch could have been a bit better.
よく歩きました。
ガイドさんはベテランで解説は非常に良かったです。人気コースで、色々回れて良かったです。しいて言うなら、ランチもう少し内容良いといいなと感じました。

Value for the tour price ★★★★★
You can efficiently see the highlights. Since the admission ticket and lunch (I didn't think it was as bad as other comments suggested) are included, I would say it's reasonable!
Guide ★★★★★
Not only did they provide information about the places we visited, but they also shared insights about other tourist spots in Nara City (so I could recognize Ikoma Mountain!), which was wonderful.
Convenience of transportation ★★★★
Even though it was a bus tour, we walked 13,000 steps, so I give it 4 stars. The grounds of the places we visited are spacious, and it's not the tour's responsibility. Compared to using public transportation, it was much easier. I recommend participating in comfortable shoes.
Personal disappointment
I think the visit to Jiko-in was unnecessary. I enjoyed the matcha and sweets, but there were similar sentiments from other participants regarding the content of the discussion. I would have preferred to spend that time exploring Daibutsuden more leisurely.
ツアー料金分の価値★★★★★
見どころを効率的に見て廻れる。参観チケット代と昼食(他の方のコメントほどひどいとは思いませんでした)も込みなのでリーズナブルと言えるでしょう!
ガイドさん ★★★★★
訪れる先は勿論、奈良市内の他の観光名所についても教えて頂き(生駒山が見分けられるように!)素晴らしかった。
移動の便利さ★★★★
バスツアーなのに13000歩も歩くので★4つ。訪問先の境内は広いしツアーの責任ではありません。公共交通機関を使って廻ることを考えたら全然楽。歩き慣れた靴での参加がおすすめです。
個人的な残念ポイント
慈光院の訪問はいらないと思います。お抹茶とお菓子を完食しておいてなんですが。ツアーの他の参加者からも同様の感想がありました(お話の内容が…)。削ってその時間分大宝蔵院をゆっくり見たかったです。

I experienced zazen (seated meditation), shakyo (sutra copying), and shojin ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine). Although I wasn't used to sitting in seiza (formal sitting posture) and zazen, it felt different from yoga, and just meditating in the temple away from the hustle and bustle of the city helped me switch my mindset. It would be better if there were more buses available for access, but the extraordinary experience I had was very good.
座禅、写経、精進料理を体験してきました。
正座や座禅など慣れていない態勢でしたがヨガとも違い、都会の喧騒をはなれたお寺で座禅しているだけで 気持ちの切り替えができる感じでした。
もう少しアクセスのバスが多く出ていると良いのですが、体験できた非日常体験はとても良かったです。

Since there are many stairs without handrails and a lot of walking, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes.
