- Osaka Mode Gakuen - Start your adventure from Osaka, leaving the bustling city as you journey towards Nara. Relax and take in the scenic drive through the Kansai region, setting the stage for a day filled with cultural discovery and natural splendor.
- Nara Park - Our initial destination is Nara Park, an expansive green area where hundreds of sacred deer wander freely. In Shinto tradition, these deer are seen as divine messengers. You can engage with them and appreciate the park’s beauty, which features majestic trees and tranquil ponds.
-
Kiyomizu-dera Temple - Constructed without a single nail, this temple is perched on a hillside, offering stunning panoramic views of Kyoto city and the surrounding forests. The temple is renowned for its large wooden platform that extends over a steep cliff, providing a spectacular view during cherry blossom season or autumn when the leaves change color. You will have one hour here and free time for lunch.
After departing Kiyomizu-dera, enjoy a leisurely walk through Sanneizaka and Ninenzaka, two historic streets lined with traditional wooden shops, teahouses, and souvenir stores. These charming lanes offer a glimpse into Kyoto’s past and are ideal for shopping or savoring local delights like matcha ice cream. Your walk concludes at Yasaka Shrine, a vibrant Shinto shrine in the heart of Kyoto’s Gion district. - Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine - This shrine is globally renowned for its thousands of bright red torii gates that create enchanting tunnels along the paths leading to the sacred Mount Inari. Walking through these tunnels is a profoundly spiritual experience. You will have 2 hours of free time at Fushimi Inari.
-
Osaka Mode Gakuen - After a rewarding visit, board the bus for the return trip to Osaka. Relax as you reflect on the day’s experiences and watch the Kansai landscape transition from evening into night.
