Beside giving information in English at the station, in 1980 we actually started giving free guided tours (personalized tours). The EGG members consist of graduates of The Nara YMCA One Year Guide Course. They learn all the information necessary to guide people around the temple and shrines; Japan history, Buddhism, Shinto, culture and architecture etc. in English. They are really expert guides to Nara, many of them have more than 10 years of experience. Our free Guided Tours Services has been introduced in many international guide books; Lonely Planet, Travel Survival Kit, Japan Solo, and many others. We always welcome international visitors warmly, and try to convey and introduce the right information on Japan's culture and history to help you understand.

Through these activities, we would like to build international relation and developed friendship and trust, hoping eventually this will lead toward peace in the world; the EGG (English Goodwill Guide) group is merely a small organization but will blossom in the future and bring the rewards of international goodwill and peace.
