Biking the bike streets of Nara, avoiding tourist traps, and learning much about the local culture, from the foundations of the once capital of Japan to the off-the-beaten track spots to feed the deer. Our guide Hiro was very accommodating, including giving us an e-bike for my wife who was tired. He connected with us, and helped us understand a lot about local culture. Our guide did seem in a rush, but that might have been his way of giving us privacy.
