Start the Morning in Arashiyama
Begin your day in the scenic Arashiyama district, a place loved for centuries since the Heian era.

• Enjoy a delicious Japanese lunch made with Kyoto’s seasonal specialities.
• Then, walk through the peaceful Sagano Bamboo Forest, where the rustling bamboo leaves create an almost otherworldly soundscape.
• Stroll along the Katsura River and admire the elegant Togetsukyo Bridge, known as the “moon-crossing bridge.”

Marvel at the Golden Pavilion – Kinkaku-ji
Next, visit the dazzling Kinkaku-ji Temple, also known as the Golden Pavilion.

• Covered in shimmering gold leaf, this Zen temple reflects beautifully on the surrounding pond.
• Wander through serene gardens designed during the 14th century and experience the calm of Kyoto’s classical architecture.

Encounter Nara’s Sacred Deer & Giant Buddha
Your final stop is Nara Park, home to over 1,200 friendly deer that roam freely.

• Feed them with special “shika-senbei” and watch as they bow politely in return — a truly heartwarming experience!
• Visit the legendary Todai-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and gaze up at the awe-inspiring Great Buddha Statue, one of Japan’s largest bronze Buddhas.

Return Relaxed
After a full day of discovery, hop back on your comfortable bus and return to your departure station with unforgettable memories.

Note: Please feed the deer only the designated “shika-senbei” for their safety.
