What to expect
Hey friends~ If you're like me and can't resist ancient architecture, natural beauty, and authentic cuisine, then hurry up and get my itinerary! 👇
First Stop: Nara Park, Dance with Deer
Step into Nara Park and interact with the leisurely strolling deer. You can also visit the Great Buddha of Nara and Todai-ji Temple within the park. If you have time, you can also explore Kasuga Taisha Shrine and climb Mount Wakakusa to enjoy nature. The rule for deer cracker giveaways is 1 portion per group. If a group has 4-6 people, 2 portions will be given. Please note that deer crackers are free gifts, and no refunds will be issued if they are sold out. Thank you for your understanding.
Second Stop: Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine, the Shock of a Thousand Torii Gates
From Nara Park, Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine is not far. The red torii gate tunnel leading to the mountaintop is simply a visual feast!
Third Stop: Kyoto Arashiyama Area
Not only is the natural scenery here stunning, but the cultural landscape is also incredibly rich! 🌟 During your free time, I highly recommend visiting the following spots!
🚂Sagano Romantic Train: Suggested train times: Saga to Kameoka, Sagano No. 11, 14:05-14:25; Kameoka to Saga, Sagano No. 12, 14:30-14:56. After arriving at Kameoka Station, the return journey starts in about 5 minutes, and you cannot get off midway on the return trip. Small tip: You need to purchase train tickets yourself.
🌿Bamboo Grove Path: Wandering along the Sagano Bamboo Grove Path feels like entering a special healing space! This path, about 500 meters long, is known as one of Japan’s most classic bamboo forest experiences!
🛁Arashiyama Station Foot Bath Onsen: Inside Arashiden Arashiyama Station, there’s a Japanese-style foot bath! The usage fee is 200 yen (including a towel). The foot bath is self-service. First, purchase a ticket at the station information center, which comes with a towel for drying your feet. Please wash your feet before entering the bath; there are washing facilities at the entrance! 🧼
👘Kimono Forest: The Kimono Forest is at Arashiyama Station of the Keifuku Electric Railroad Arashiyama Line, at the entrance of Arashiyama! Here, about 600 lanterns decorated with Kyo-Yuzen fabric are lined up within the station, creating a dreamlike tree-lined path!
Reviews
This was my first time booking a day tour with Klook. The itinerary included Nara Park, Arashiyama, and Fushimi Inari. Our tour guide for this trip was Ko-to. They provided very detailed explanations of the attractions and informed us of important precautions. The time management was spot on, and they also shared some very useful personal tips for visiting the sights. The weather on the day of the trip was extremely clear and sunny. I am so glad I joined this day tour; it was a wonderful experience.
had a really great day, full of must see places and our guide, Lucia, knew how to answer every question we had a recommended a really good place to eat, worth going, at least for the transfer from Osaka to Kyoto
Enjoyable day trip from Osaka! Our tour guide was Jack and we had a great time at all the destinations we went to! Highly recommended!
Thanks to our guide, Jack, for making our day so fulfilling and romantic. His vivid and engaging explanations of each attraction allowed me to understand everything in both Mandarin and English. At each stop, he thoughtfully pointed out important things to keep in mind for the upcoming itinerary, which felt both helpful and considerate. We were also lucky today that all the fellow travelers from Tongcheng were punctual, allowing us to stick to schedule. I imagine the fall foliage season will be even more beautiful, and I hope to see you again then!
I love the whole tour even in this summer. The bus is spacious giving more room to rest on travel. The places we went through are all amazing and up to standard. Price us worth the experience. Shout out to Ms. Ellen Wang for wonderfully leading the tour, i like how she gives brief history and description of the place. The coordination from providing meet up information and time allowance for every destination is amazing. Everything is seamless that makes this tour amazing.
sadly the weather wasn't sunny, but we are really grateful for this tour to bring us to 4-5 desired spots within a day! the convenience is much appreciated. also, the tour guide is helpful in being bilingual 🙏🏼
highly recommend. our tour guide Fred is very knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and approachable. I suggest that you make sure be on time or earlier than the call time if possible so you won’t get left behind, also bring umbrella if it’s a sunny weather and a portable Fan because it can get super hot specially in Arashiyama on summer time. once again thank you to our Tour Guide Fred. we appreciate you! more power to you and goodluck.
it was good that we saved time and hassle from travelling on our own. managed to go Nara Park, Fushimi Inari and Arashiyama. Honestly just the norm of a trip, nothing much special. the places itself speak wonders. guide just led us to the places.
Trip date: June 23, 2025 (Monday) Guide: 于导（Lucia）LULU. Lucia provided clear instructions and directions for us to follow, she would send accurate GPS locations via watsapp to make sure we know our ways around. She was also attentive to call me to ensure we reached our hotel safely after the day tour ended, as my family were the only group that alighted at the Kyoto drop-off point, instead of back to the Osaka drop-off point.
Recommended for a day trip to Kyoto, it covers most of the ancient city. Mr.Frederick our tour guide did a marvellous job. He keeps us updated wherever we are and ensure we do not get lost at the area as it is so crowded. some of the place are not stroller accessible as u hv to carry it up using stairs but i still recommend u bring it as the place are huge especially the bamboo forest.
Good to know
