Begin your journey from Osaka or Kyoto, and step into Japan’s most iconic sights.

Start at the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, where sunlight filters through towering stalks, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.

Enjoy a traditional meal at Kyoto Wasabi, a 120-year-old townhouse preserving the charm of old Kyoto. Choose from Kobe Beef Shabu-shabu, Pork Shabu-shabu, or Vegetarian Curry.

Continue to Nara, Japan’s ancient capital. Stroll through Nara Park and visit Todai-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Inside the world’s largest wooden structure, marvel at the 15-meter Great Buddha, an awe-inspiring symbol of Japan’s heritage.

Conclude at Fushimi Inari Shrine, famed for its thousands of vermilion torii gates forming a striking path up Mount Inari. This unforgettable sight is among Japan’s most photographed landmarks.

At day’s end, relax on your bus ride back, with the flexibility to return to Osaka or Kyoto.
