What you can expect

Start your unforgettable journey from the exclusive VIP Lounge in Osaka or Kyoto and dive into a day of wonder! Begin with a visit to Kinkaku-ji Temple, the Golden Pavilion, a breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its dazzling golden exterior and serene gardens. Your ticket is included!

Next, immerse yourself in the enchanting charm of Arashiyama. Visit to the renowned Bamboo Grove, a magical forest of towering green stalks that create a serene and otherworldly atmosphere. Wander through this captivating path, where the light filters through the dense bamboo, creating a unique and tranquil experience.

For travellers who choose the lunch option, savour a delicious meal at “Kyoto Wasabi,” a historic Kyoto townhouse with a rich legacy of over 120 years. Delight in an exquisite Kyoto traditional meal set featuring Kyoto pork and tofu shabu-shabu, a classic Japanese hot pot dish with thinly sliced pork cooked in a flavourful broth.

For travellers who choose the no-meal option, you will have a total of 120 minutes in Arashiyama to explore local dining options and enjoy the picturesque surroundings at your own pace.

Your adventure continues at Fushimi Inari Shrine, a revered Shinto shrine designated as an Important Cultural Property. This iconic shrine is renowned for its thousands of vibrant red torii gates, which create a stunning and immersive tunnel-like pathway up the sacred Mount Inari. As you walk through the gates, you’ll pass through a series of shrines, each representing a different aspect of the deity Inari Okami, who is worshipped for prosperity in business, household safety, and success in various endeavours.

Conclude your day in Nara, Japan’s historic capital. Experience the magic of Nara Park, where you can mingle with friendly deer, and visit Todai-ji Temple, the largest wooden structure in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Be awed by Japan’s colossal Buddha statue, towering 15 metres high.

At the end of the tour, we will return by bus. You can choose from two disbanding locations in Kyoto or Osaka, allowing you to decide where you'd like to conclude your day.
