You start the day with a cool pedal through Nara Park, e-bike motor humming as sika deer step aside like local hosts. Stone lanterns and cedar trunks press close while your guide threads quiet lanes and points to Todaiji's Great Southern Gate before the first stop — an enormous wooden hall and the Daibutsu inside.
