Activity itinerary

Katsuo-ji Temple
  • 2h
Katsuo-ji Temple, located in the serene mountains of Minoh near Osaka, is a beautiful Buddhist temple famous for its connection to good fortune and success. Known as the “Temple of Winning,” it attracts visitors who come to pray for luck in exams, business, and personal endeavors. The temple grounds are especially enchanting, featuring lush gardens, tranquil ponds, and countless red daruma dolls placed by worshippers as symbols of perseverance and victory. With its peaceful atmosphere, stunning seasonal scenery—particularly cherry blossoms in spring and vibrant foliage in autumn—Katsuo-ji offers travelers not only a spiritual experience but also a chance to enjoy one of the most picturesque temple settings in the Kansai region.
Minoh Falls
  • 50m
Minoo Falls, nestled within Minoo Quasi-National Park just outside Osaka, is a stunning natural escape and one of the most picturesque waterfalls in Japan. Cascading 33 meters down a rocky cliff, the falls are surrounded by lush forests that create a refreshing retreat from the city. The walk to the waterfall is just as captivating as the destination itself, with a scenic 2.8 km trail that winds past traditional shops, temples, and vibrant seasonal landscapes—cherry blossoms in spring, cool greenery in summer, and fiery red maple leaves in autumn. A popular local treat to try along the way is momiji tempura, deep-fried maple leaves, adding a unique cultural touch to the journey. Peaceful and rejuvenating, Minoo Falls is a perfect spot for nature lovers and anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of Japan’s changing seasons.
Arashiyama Bamboo Forest
  • 1h 40m
The Arashiyama Bamboo Forest in Kyoto is one of Japan’s most iconic and enchanting natural sights, offering visitors a truly otherworldly experience. As you stroll through the towering stalks of bamboo, the sunlight filters gently through the swaying green canopy, creating a peaceful and almost dreamlike atmosphere. The rustling sound of the bamboo leaves in the wind adds to the forest’s mystical charm, making it a place where travelers can slow down and connect with nature. Located near other popular attractions such as the Togetsukyo Bridge and Tenryu-ji Temple, the bamboo grove is easily accessible and a must-visit for photographers, nature lovers, and anyone seeking a tranquil escape within Kyoto’s cultural landscape.
Todai-ji Temple
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
Todai-ji Temple in Nara is one of Japan’s most historically significant and awe-inspiring landmarks, renowned for its immense Great Buddha Hall (Daibutsuden), which houses a colossal bronze statue of Vairocana Buddha. Founded in the 8th century and serving as the head temple of the Kegon school of Buddhism, Todai-ji played a central role in the country’s religious and political history. The temple’s grand wooden architecture, one of the largest wooden structures in the world, reflects the craftsmanship and devotion of ancient Japan. Surrounded by the scenic Nara Park, where friendly free-roaming deer wander freely, a visit to Todai-ji offers both cultural enrichment and natural beauty. For travelers, it is a place where history, spirituality, and nature harmoniously come together, leaving a lasting impression.
