Many foreign tourists come to Nara to see the Great Buddha statue and tame deer, and go home without visiting the interesting historic "old town" area called Nara-machi.
They don't know what they've missed!
Hi! I'm Yoshiko Hatcho. I love Nara-machi.
In here you can experience the atmosphere of old times created by old "machiya" (historic merchant townhouses) and small alleys full of interesting sights.
Unfortunately this area is not easy for foreign tourists to walk around and find its real charms by themselves.
That is why I started this Saturday walking tour in 2006, hoping to help those who wish to explore this historic neighborhood inside out.
I'll show you the places foreign tourists often miss.
