What you can expect

Depart from Osaka or Kyoto for a day trip to 3 popular destinations: Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, Nara Park, and Fushimi Inari Taisha.

First, immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. Walk beneath soaring bamboo stalks that sway gently in the breeze, creating a dreamlike atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the world. This iconic grove is one of Japan’s most photographed locations and a perfect place to slow down, breathe, and capture unforgettable memories.

Enhance your experience with an optional premium lunch at the renowned Kyoto Wasabi Restaurant. Indulge in exquisite Kobe beef shabu-shabu, featuring world-famous wagyu beef celebrated for its melt-in-your-mouth tenderness and rich flavor, delicately cooked in a savory broth. You’ll also enjoy a superb Pork shabu-shabu, a comforting and elegant dish that showcases the refined flavors of Kyoto cuisine.

Next, travel to Nara, Japan’s ancient capital. Wander through Nara Park, where friendly deer roam freely among historic temples and lush greenery. Visit Todai-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the world’s largest wooden structure, and stand in awe before the monumental Great Buddha, an iconic symbol of Japanese spirituality and craftsmanship.

Your day concludes at the legendary Fushimi Inari Taisha, one of Japan’s most revered Shinto shrines. Walk through thousands of vivid vermilion torii gates that form a mesmerizing tunnel up sacred Mount Inari. Each gate represents a prayer for prosperity, success, and protection, creating a truly spiritual and unforgettable experience.

Relax on the return journey by comfortable bus, with the flexibility to disembark in Kyoto or Osaka. This perfectly balanced day trip offers nature, culture, history, and cuisine—an ideal way to experience the essence of Japan in one remarkable day.
