What you can expect

Visit Kyoto's most famous cultural sites on this day-long bus tour from Osaka. Hop aboard a comfortable coach and drive to Japan's ancient capital to see the brilliant torii gates of the Fushimi Inari Shrine, the UNESCO-listed Kiyomizu-dera temple, and the golden pavilion of Kinkaku-ji.

Kyoto is filled with ancient historic sites dating back to the 6th century. Your bus first drops you off at the Fushimi Inari Shrine, a Shinto shrine famous for its thousands of vermilion torii gates. Spend time wandering the brilliant paths before heading to your next destination.

Kiyomizu-dera, one of the most iconic temples of Kyoto and Japan. You have ample time to wander through the temple—walk across the impressive wooden stage, which juts out from the hillside and was constructed without the use of a single nail.

Your day is not yet over! Next stop is at Kinkaku-ji, also known as the Golden Pavilion, which are covered in gold leaf. Wander through the immaculate gardens surrounding the temple, admiring the original Japanese designs that have been preserved since Ashikaga's time.

End your day enjoying Arashiyama, which has been a popular nature-viewing destination since the Heian Period. Take a stroll through the cool Sagano Bamboo Forest and listen to the distinct rustle of bamboo leaves as you walk.

In the late afternoon, your bus returns you to JR Kyoto Station or Osaka (depends on the chosen option).
