Overview

Begin your day from VIP Lounge in Osaka or Kyoto. Your journey starts in Nara, Japan's ancient capital. Explore Nara Park, where friendly, free-roaming deer welcome you, embodying the city's charm. Stroll through this historic park before visiting Todai-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site and home to the 15-meter-tall Great Buddha statue in the world’s largest wooden structure. Next, Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. Walk amidst towering bamboo stalks and enjoy the calming atmosphere as sunlight filters through the trees. Free time for lunch (note that lunch may shift to Fushimi Inari depending on traffic). Continue your exploration at Kinkaku-ji Temple, also known as the Golden Pavilion. Marvel at its gold-leaf exterior and serene garden. Finally, visit Fushimi Inari Shrine, famous for its thousands of vermilion torii gates leading up Mount Inari. Each gate represents a prayer to Inari Okami, the deity of prosperity and safety. At day’s end, return to Osaka or Kyoto.

Highly recommend!!! 3 days worth of sightseeing done in 1 day!

Published on May, 2025

This is a must to do if you don’t want the hassle of planning a day trip. The tour was on a very strict schedule. So keep that in mind. It was very fast paced! No time to shop or sight see on your own. First stop, Nara Deer Park. Cute deer and then you can head towards the shrine to see the Buddha statue. You need to purchase ticket for that. ¥800. Not overly crowded here. Second stop, (if purchased, highly recommend, shabu shabu lunch). DELICIOUS!!! Next stop, Bamboo Forest. OMG!!! Crowded streets, pathway and everywhere else. Couldn’t walk without bumping into everyone there. Nothing really special here. Could have skipped this and maybe offered to see something better. Next stop, the golden temple. We only had 40 minutes there. So quickly take your picture of the Kinaku temple. One way traffic. This is where you can get the matcha soft serve ice cream before getting back on bus. We had 20 minutes to spare so we were able to enjoy our ice cream. Last stop, Fushimi Inari-taisha. Wow! Beautiful!!! Again, overcrowded and lots to see with limited time. The trip has lots of walking so be prepared. Overall, great experience. Just prepare yourself for the crowds. We were there on May 4, 2025, and Veggie Lin was our tour guide and she was great!

Great day, great food, great guide (Harry)

Published on Apr, 2025

Although was a busy day with walking and time frames my guide (Harry) was nice, polite and very informative in regards to History. I liked that Harry gave us his whatsapp on the bus and any questions we had he responded ASAP. Best guide and the tour allowed for just the right amount of time at each location. I opted for lunch and the lunch was so nice and a great cultural experience. I do wish that I had more time at the Bamboo Forest, but happy I choose the lunch option.

Awesome trip with lunch

Published on Mar, 2025

We had a very full day - despite quite heavy rain at Miyajima. The history of Hiroshima was very interesting and painful .Our guide Masa was perfect and gave us a lot of insights in Japanese culture.

Not one to miss

Published on Feb, 2025

We wanted to see Arashiyama , Fushimi Inari Taisha and Nara Park all in one day . If visiting Osaka for a short time , this is a great day tour to visit all 3 places . It was a seamless trip with Gary as our tour guide . Very knowledgeable and organized with details . Would recommend him as a guide if booking this tour .
