Overview

Explore the sights of Arashiyama and Fushimi Inari on this full-day, private minivan tour based out of Osaka. In Arashiyama, you'll visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Tenryuji, known for its beautiful architecture, gorgeous classic gardens, and lovely vistas. Then it's on to the world famous bamboo grove. Picture time! Afterwards, we slip away to the quiet, rarefied environs of the Okochi Sanso estate for gardens, architecture, and a matcha tea break too. Much more to see and stroll about in Arashimaya before we head to the awe-inspiring, ever-popular Fushimi Inari, where thousands of red gates ("torii") snake up the mountain. We'll talk about the significance and sites as we make our way up the holy pathway, but it's a private tour, so we only go as high as you want! While not included, we are happy to suggest a lunch stop along the way. This tour can be customized, so do feel free to consult with us if you've something special in mind that we don't cover on the standard tour.

Itinerary

  • Arashiyama

    Within this part of Kyoto are the following places, all described in detaile below: Tenryuji, Bamboo Grove, Okochi Sanso. But also, we'll spend some time, as you wish, strolling the town itself, both along the river and through the shopping district.

    1 hour

  • Tenryu-ji Temple

    The lovely, picture-perfect gardens are sure to both astound and bring you a sense of serenity. Timeless beauty, no matter what the season. We also get views of the prayer halls, mediation areas, and the bamboo grove (which we later walk right through).

    45 minutes

  • Bamboo Forest Street

    You've probably seen this pictures of this, and now you get to be a part of it. A narrow road snakes up a gentle hillside, with bamboo towering both to your left and right. A classic, and for good reason.

    20 minutes

  • Okochi Sanso Garden

    Perched above Arashiyama's famous bamboo grove is this luxurious former actor's estate, largely built in the 1930s. You'll enjoy some macha (Japanese powdered green tea) and a small sweet, then stroll the gardens, take in the views, and check out the impressive buildings.

    1 hour

  • Gion

    We spend a few minutes driving through and stopping for a quick stroll and picture taking in the Gion district.

    10 minutes

  • Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine

    Arguably the most famous Shinto Shrine in the land, Fushimi Inari entices you ever higher up the mountain with its famous red torii (gates). Don't worry, though -- this is a private tour, so we'll only go as high as you want to! Along the way, we'll talk about what Shintoism, Japan's original religion, and we'll see plenty of significant sights aside from those red torii, too.

    1 hour 15 minutes

An amazing day with an amazing company!

Published on Dec, 2024

Pinpoint traveler really had their game on for this tour! Great, continuous upfront communications once the tour was booked and the day of the tour, our tour guide took ill. Pinpoint travel (Kristi) was all over it, regrouping their resources, communicating to us as well as the hotel to ensure that the delay was communicated and all in it was like a 30-minute delay. Our guide showed up, ready to rock and off we went. We had book this tour in hopes of catching the fall colors as well as the many attractions in Kyoto and nothing disappointed. Our guide was highly knowledgeable, had incredible insight on paths better taken to avoid the crowds and still see all the many wonders that were on the list to visit. The fall colors were in full bloom and gave the awe-inspiring tour and extra bit more love to an amazing adventure. This was a last tour of our Japan adventure and it was definitely a case of saving the best for last. Cannot recommend this tour & company enough.

Unforgettable Kyoto Adventure with the Best Guide!

Published on Nov, 2024

My family and I had an awesome trip around Kyoto with Kevin! The weather was absolutely perfect, allowing us to fully enjoy the breathtaking autumn colors. Every stop was more stunning than the last, with Kevin expertly guiding us to the best spots to take in the seasonal beauty. The food was another highlightā€”delicious and perfectly matched to the atmosphere of Kyoto. Kevinā€™s recommendations were spot on, and the meal felt like a cultural experience in itself. Kevin is a fantastic guideā€”knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. He went above and beyond to make the trip enjoyable and informative. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to explore Kyoto in the best way possible!

We had a wonderful experience

Published on Nov, 2024

It was a great day. Our guide Hugo was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and gave us an insight into the history and culture of the place, as well as an insight into way of life in Japan. Although we had much less time than originally planned for our visit to Kyoto (due to Royal Caribbean's Spectrum of the Seas shortening our stay in port), we have managed to see most of what was on our bespoke itinerary and get a proper taste of the city. We enjoyed our visit to Kyoto very much indeed :-)

It was a great day. Our guide Hugo was excellent.

Although we had much less time than originally planned for our visit to Kyoto (due to Royal Caribbean's Spectrum of the Seas, shortening our stay in port), we have managed to see most of what was on our bespoke itinerary and get a proper taste of the city and the area.
