Overview

Experience the timeless beauty of Kyoto and Nara in one unforgettable day as you journey through some of Japan’s most iconic and scenic spots. Begin with a ride on the Sagano Romantic Train, a charming vintage railway offering breathtaking views of the Hozugawa River and seasonal landscapes—from cherry blossoms to fiery autumn foliage. Stroll through the enchanting Sagano Bamboo Forest Trail, where towering bamboo stalks create a serene and dreamlike atmosphere. Next, marvel at the illuminated elegance of the Kimono Forest, an artistic path of kimono-clad pillars near Arashiyama Station. Continue your adventure at Fushimi Inari Taisha, where thousands of vermilion torii gates lead you through sacred mountain trails in Kyoto’s most iconic Shinto shrine. Optionally, extend your journey to Nara Park, where friendly, free-roaming deer await alongside cultural treasures like Todai-ji Temple and the Great Buddha.

Famous for its thousands of vivid red torii gates that wind through a scenic forested trail, this sacred site is dedicated to Inari, the Shinto god of rice and prosperity. Wander through the enchanting pathways, encounter fox statues (Inari’s messengers), and take in panoramic views of Kyoto from the mountaintop. Whether you're seeking spiritual connection, a breathtaking photo spot, or a peaceful hike, Fushimi Inari offers a truly unforgettable experience.
The Bamboo Forest Trail

Walk beneath towering green bamboo stalks that sway gently in the breeze, creating a calming, almost otherworldly atmosphere. This scenic path offers a peaceful escape from the city and is perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone seeking a moment of serenity. The soft rustle of the bamboo and dappled sunlight filtering through the grove make this one of Japan’s most enchanting and iconic experiences.
Arashiyama Kimono Forest
  • 1h
Located near Arashiyama Station, this stunning installation features hundreds of illuminated cylindrical pillars wrapped in colorful kimono fabrics, inspired by traditional Kyo-yuzen dyeing techniques. Especially magical at night when the pillars glow softly, the Kimono Forest creates a romantic, dreamlike walkway perfect for photos and peaceful strolls. It's a modern fusion of art and tradition that adds a unique charm to your Kyoto adventure.
