Description

At 9 am, we will meet at the JR Namba OCAT 1F train station to board the bus to Kyoto, with a travel time of approximately 1 hour.

The first stop will be Fushimi Inari-Taisha, the main Shinto shrine in Kyoto. After visiting this shrine, we will proceed to Kiyomizudera Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most iconic sites in Kyoto.

At around 1 pm, we will take a break for lunch at a local restaurant, featuring a traditional-style meal that includes a rice dish with tofu and vegetable tempura.

After lunch, we will continue to Kinkaku-ji, also known as the Golden Pavilion, which was once the residence of Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

Our final destination will be Arashiyama and its famous bamboo forest, ideal for photography. We will then return to Osaka, concluding the tour at 6:30 pm.
