your experience

In this exclusive 11-hour tour, embark on a journey to the scenic areas of Kyoto and Nara, home to several UNESCO world heritage sites, temples, and holy shrines.

Admire the Glittering Kinkaku-ji Temple

Visit the Kinkakuji Temple, which is entirely covered in gold leaf and marvel at its architecture. When the golden structure reflects the sunlight, it is a sight to behold. Take a stroll around the garden and gaze at the temple's glistening reflection in the quiet pond.

Connect with Nature Through Arashiyama

A popular tourist destination in northwest Kyoto, Arashiyama is known for its world-famous bamboo grove and stunning scenery that changes each season. Stroll through the bamboo groves beautifully illuminated by sunlight. Don't forget to snap incredible views of the Katsura River after crossing the Togetsu-kyo Bridge before visiting the Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine. Step through the 10,000 torii gates of the shrine, which give the impression of being an infinite tunnel.

Stroll through Nara Park

Take a leisurely stroll through Nara Park's paths while keeping an eye out for the numerous lovely deer who call the park home. Enjoy the views of the beautiful woodland and close encounters with the deer. From here, take a 15-min walk to the ancient Tōdai-ji Temple where you will find the largest bronze Buddha statue in the world.
