Discover the old capital of Japan on this day trip to Kyoto from Osaka. Buddhist temples, gardens, imperial palaces, Shinto shrines, and more await you!

Description

At 9 am, we'll meet at the JR Namba OCAT 1F train station. The bus will take us to the city of Kyoto in about 1 hour.

The first stop will be Fushimi Inari-Taisha, the main Shinto shrine in Kyoto. After exploring this temple, we'll visit Kiyomizudera Temple, a group of temples and religious enclosures declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

At around 1 pm, we'll stop at a local restaurant for a traditional-style lunch consisting of a rice dish with tofu and a vegetable tempura.

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

Our last destination will be Arashiyama and its famous bamboo forest. Take pictures in its iconic winding paths!

Finally, we'll return to Osaka and drop you off at the initial meeting point, ending the tour at 6:30 pm.
