What To Expect
Meet a driver at a central location in Umeda or Namba, then board a bus for the trip to Kyoto, where your first stop of the day is a tour of the Arashiyama district. In early April, Arashiyama lights up with cherry blossoms, and during summer months, traditional cormorant fishing is practiced in Arashiyama's Hozu River. If you're visiting in the fall, autumn leaves are a highlight, and you can visit the Tenryuji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site near the Sagano Bamboo Forest. You can visit a local restaurant for lunch, before continuing to the Kinkakuji Temple, a pagoda built to house sacred Buddha relics. Spend the afternoon touring Nara Park and the Todaiji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was once one of the Seven Great Temples. See the largest Buddha statue in Japan, and spot some of the wild deer that live within the park. Pause for dinner and shopping at the Kobe MOSAIC, a shopping mall in the city's port, with roughly 80 shops and restaurants"”and a Ferris wheel that's perfect for nighttime views of the city. You'll dine on beef, pork, or chicken shabu-shabu, a kind of traditional hotpot, alongside vegetables, soft drinks, and ice cream. After dinner, begin the return trip to Osaka, where this tour concludes with drop-off by the Namba "OCAT," or the Hearton Hotel Nishi in Umeda.
