Description
Nara Park Short Walk
I have a qualification as a Japanese language teacher. So, if you have any questions about Japanese culture, Nara, or anything else, please ask me anytime.
Why I Made a Short Tour
I did a 3‑ to 4- hour walking tour on GuruWalk a couple of years ago. I realized I cannot talk in English for such a long time, so I stopped doing GuruWalk tour September in Nara is still very hot, so a short tour might be better. That’s why I decided to make the shortest tour, 45 minutes! Is it okay? I hope so!
Meeting Point
Let's meet in front of the 7-Eleven in the Nara Prefectural Government Building. There's an indoor waiting area, so feel free to sit and relax. Look for me with a "GuruWalk" sign!

Hello! I’m Yoshi, a Japanese uncle living in Nara.
I have conducted 3‑ to 4- hour GuruWalk tours in Osaka and Nara Park before. I didn’t speak English well and walked for more than 3 hours… I got super tired. This time, I made a short tour.
