Step by Step

Experience a full day discovering the treasures of Nara and Kyoto, with an itinerary carefully planned to combine culture, nature and Japanese tradition. The tour departs from Osaka or Kyoto itself in vehicles adapted to the size of the group and with all comforts included.

The first stop is the famous Nara Park, where you will walk among free-roaming deer and get up close to iconic temples in a unique setting. Afterwards, the route continues to the majestic Fushimi Inari Taisha, with its thousands of red tori forming sacred tunnels and one of Japan's most iconic images.

In the afternoon, the tour takes you to Arashiyama, one of Kyoto's most beautiful landscapes. You will have a few hours to walk through its famous bamboo forest, visit traditional temples or even take the Sagano scenic train (ticket not included), one of the most recommended experiences.

The tour is designed for travellers who want to make the most of a day in Kansai, without worrying about logistics. Whether you are travelling alone, with family or friends, you will enjoy an organised tour with plenty of free time at each stop to discover at your own pace.

At the end of the day, you will return comfortably to Kyoto or Osaka, with the feeling of having experienced a complete journey full of contrasts: from the spirituality of the temples to the natural beauty of the landscapes.

    Very good option to see Nara and Inari in one day. I want to come back in autumn, I bet it changes the mood completely.

    Everything is neat and tidy. Arashiyama breathes calm, the deer are friendly. The only thing missing was an audio guide, but ok.
