Hello laryx,
I am going to Japan in August this year...apart from Kyoto and Tokyo I have to see Nara. My sister visited this place during her holidays and I was really amazed at the pictures she took there!!
She was travelling with Inside Japan Tours Company…if you are interested check out their website…this is
Inside Japan Tours - Small Group Tours, Self-Guided Adventures, Fully Tailored Packages and Japan Rail Pass.
I heard that Nara is the friendliest and most relaxed city in Japan so it will be a good idea to visit it as the last one….after Tokyo and Kyoto.
From Kyoto station, both the JR Nara Line and the private Kintetsu Kyoto Line will get you to Nara quickly.
I wish you lovely holidays!!!
Good luck
Fumi
