On this one-day tour, you will set off from the ever-grinding city of Osaka and become one with nature at three of its must-visit attractions. Your first destination is Arashiyama, a popular tourist destination wrapped around in a stunning natural setting. You’ll find several small temples scattered about the base of the wooded mountains, against the backdrop of the colorful cherry blossoms and autumn leaves (visit in fall). You’ll also visit its common sightseeing spots, including the Sagano Bamboo Grove and the Togetsukyo Bridge.

Next, at the city of Nara, head to its famous vast historical park that sits in harmony with the World Heritage Site of Todaiji Temple. Known for housing the Great Buddha of Nara, this temple also served as the head temple of all provincial Buddhist temples in Japan! You will also visit one of Japan’s oldest parks, Nara Park! Housing over 1,200 wild deer, this park has been known to protect deer for centuries, considering them gods of the Kasuga Shrine!
