Activity itinerary

Nara Park
  • 1h 20m
  • Admission ticket included
Nara Deer Park: 1 hour 20 minutes Visit the charming Nara Deer Park, a sprawling park where over 1,000 free-roaming deer, considered sacred messengers of the gods in Shinto belief, welcome you with curiosity and playfulness. Located in the heart of Nara, this park offers a unique and delightful experience as you interact with these friendly animals. Purchase special deer crackers (shika senbei) to feed them, and watch as they politely bow in gratitude before enjoying their treat—a behavior that fascinates visitors of all ages. Stroll through the park's picturesque pathways, surrounded by lush greenery, traditional lanterns, and views of nearby historical sites like the iconic Todaiji Temple.
Arashiyama Bamboo Forest
  • 40m
Arashiyama Bamboo Forest: 40 minutes Step into a world of natural wonder at the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, one of Kyoto's most enchanting and tranquil attractions. As you walk along the winding paths, you’ll be surrounded by towering stalks of green bamboo, gently swaying in the breeze and creating a serene, almost otherworldly atmosphere. The sunlight filtering through the bamboo creates a magical play of light and shadow, perfect for photography and quiet reflection. The forest is part of the larger Arashiyama district, which offers stunning views of the Katsura River and the iconic Togetsu-kyo Bridge, just a short walk away. Whether you're seeking peace, inspiration, or Instagram-worthy moments, this bamboo grove is an unforgettable highlight of any Kyoto visit.
Togetsukyo Bridge
  • 20m
Togetsukyō Bridge: 20 minutes Cross the iconic Togetsukyō Bridge, a picturesque landmark that spans the Katsura River in the heart of Arashiyama. This historic wooden bridge offers stunning views of the river, surrounding mountains, and seasonal landscapes, making it a favorite spot for visitors seeking natural beauty and photo opportunities. Whether you're visiting in spring, when cherry blossoms line the riverbanks, or in autumn, when the foliage turns brilliant shades of red and orange, Togetsukyō Bridge provides an unforgettable backdrop for scenic walks. The bridge's name, meaning "Moon Crossing Bridge," reflects its timeless elegance and the serenity that has made it a beloved symbol of Kyoto.
Tenryuji Temple
  • 40m
Tenryū-ji Temple: 40 minutes Explore the serene beauty of Tenryū-ji Temple, one of Kyoto’s most significant Zen Buddhist temples and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Founded in the 14th century, Tenryū-ji is renowned for its stunning landscape garden, which perfectly harmonizes with the surrounding Arashiyama mountains. The garden features a large pond, beautifully arranged rock formations, and meticulously maintained plants, offering a peaceful setting for reflection and relaxation. Take time to admire the temple’s architecture, a fine example of traditional Zen style, and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere that has been preserved for centuries. The temple is a place of spiritual significance and offers a deep connection to Kyoto’s history and culture.
Kinkakuji Temple
  • 40m
  • Admission ticket included
Rokuonji Temple, more famously known as Kinkaku-ji or the Golden Pavilion, is one of Kyoto’s most iconic landmarks and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its most celebrated structure, the Shariden (Golden Pavilion Hall), is a stunning three-story building covered in brilliant gold leaf that shimmers beautifully against the surrounding pond, Kyōko-chi, and the lush gardens. Originally built in the 14th century as a retirement villa for shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the Shariden was later converted into a Zen temple of the Rinzai sect. Each floor of the pavilion represents a different architectural style—shinden, samurai, and Zen Buddhist—making it a rare blend of cultural influences. The reflection of the glittering pavilion in the calm waters, framed by seasonal scenery of cherry blossoms, autumn leaves, or winter snow, offers a breathtaking view that has made it one of the most photographed and admired sites in Japan.
Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine
  • 1h 20m
  • Admission ticket included
Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine: 1 hour 20 minutes Step into the spiritual heart of Kyoto at Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, one of Japan's most iconic and photographed destinations. This ancient Shinto shrine, dedicated to Inari, the deity of rice, prosperity, and business, is famous for its thousands of vivid red torii gates forming a mesmerizing tunnel-like pathway. As you wander through the winding trails, you'll pass by smaller shrines, stone fox statues (messengers of Inari), and tranquil forested areas, creating an atmosphere of peace and wonder. The hike to the halfway point rewards you with panoramic views of Kyoto city, making the journey as rewarding as the destination itself.
