What to expect

【Katsuoji Temple】 The biggest feature of Katsuoji Temple is the “Katsun Daruma” (Victory Daruma) scattered all over the mountains. People come here to pray, and after making a wish, they offer a Daruma doll with one eye painted on it to the temple. If the wish comes true, they return to paint the other eye, signifying the fulfillment of their desire. Thousands of Daruma dolls are spread across the stone steps, by the ponds, and around the buildings, creating a truly stunning and powerful sight. 【Kiyomizu-dera Temple】 Kiyomizu-dera Temple is a representative Kyoto attraction that combines the beauty of history, nature, and culture. Whether it’s for sightseeing, praying, taking photos, or experiencing tradition, visitors can have a rich experience. 【Arashiyama】 Arashiyama is Kyoto’s most iconic tourist destination. In Arashiyama, you can walk across Togetsukyo Bridge to enjoy the scenery, stroll through the bamboo forest path, visit the World Heritage site Tenryu-ji Temple, savor matcha and local delicacies, and rent a bicycle to leisurely explore the Katsura River. It is a must-visit Kyoto attraction that combines nature, food, and culture.

Review for: Katsuouji Temple One-Day Tour | Departing from Osaka

Our tour guide, Yuzu, provided a very detailed and lively introduction, and also shared many interesting local stories. They were also very considerate in helping us take photos to commemorate the trip. Even though we didn't order a meal, they were very enthusiastic in recommending delicious restaurants. Overall, the service was very attentive and the travel experience was very enjoyable. Katsuo-ji Temple, filled with Daruma dolls, is very eye-catching and interesting, with a unique atmosphere. Even just the outer streets of Kiyomizu-dera Temple are great to stroll around. Remember to set aside some time to write a Goshuin inside the temple, it's a very memorable experience. The antique scenery of Arashiyama is breathtaking. Taking a rickshaw deep into the bamboo forest secret path is really worth experiencing once!

This was an excellent experience! We were able to visit three Kyoto attractions all at once. The meeting point was easy to find, and we departed right on time. Both the tour guide and driver were very polite and friendly, and they shared information about Japan and its culture with us. Overall, this trip was definitely worth it. I will certainly sign up again next time I visit Osaka! 👍👍👍🇯🇵⛩️

Review for: Katsuouji Temple One-Day Tour | Departing from Osaka

Our tour guide, Cherry, was very attentive and patient, providing detailed explanations and introductions for each attraction. She also proactively helped people take photos and looked after the elderly and children in our group! She was excellent 👍🏻. However, the vehicle was a bit old and had limited seating. It would be quite uncomfortable if we encountered traffic!

A very fulfilling day trip. The timing was well-planned, allowing approximately 2 hours at each attraction, which wasn't too rushed. The tour guide, Miss Xie, was very friendly and recommended many delicious foods, which was great. Katsuoji Temple, Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and Arashiyama are all worth visiting. Highly recommended!
