Try asking the tourist centre there.

Free guides in a number of languages are available at the entrance.

Ciao. Io sono stato in inverno ma non mi sono rivolto a guide. Ho assaporato l'atmosfera del grande tempio seguendo il resto dei visitatori (tra l'altro tutti giapponesi e cinesi). E' stato molto bello...

I would suggest you walk from the station if you are able it's an easy walk with wild deer all along the way we caught a bus from the station which cut the walk in half. Lots of stuff to see a nice walk not far make sure you see the nigatsu-do temple while in the Nara park fantastic views enjoy

質問は東大寺Q&Aですが、東大寺で改修中でシートに覆われている場所と写真はありません。興福寺の国宝館は耐震工事中ですが仮講堂で見る事が出来ます。中金堂は再建中でH30年完成(月は不明)と書いて有、全体にシートに覆われていました。

8:00 to 16:30 (November to February)  8:00 to 17:00 (March)  7:30 to 17:30 (April to September)  7:30 to 17:00 (October)

Almost 45 minutes.

Hi, when you get off the train at J R Nara there is a bus station just outside - cross this and there is a bust stop marked for trips to Nara Park and the temples cant help you with the fare as we stayed near JR Nara station and walked up the hill taking in other sites on the way - it would take about 40 minutes - the Great Buddha hall is a must and probably Hokke -do - each cost Yen 500 per person - we did not go in the Kaidan Hall - not to worry about being able to speak Japanese in the tourist areas most people can understand and speak English and we found that everyone we asked was very helpful.
