Activity itinerary

The Hilton Plaza West
  • 1h 30m
Starting from Hilton Plaza West in Osaka, the journey to Arashiyama Bamboo Forest offers a transition from the city’s vibrant urban core to scenic landscapes. Initially, travelers will see modern skyscrapers, luxury malls, and landmarks like the Umeda Sky Building. As the bus moves out of central Osaka, the scenery shifts to quieter suburban areas with traditional houses, local parks, and possibly views of the Yodo River. Approaching Kyoto, the landscape becomes more rural, with rice paddies, small temples, and distant hills. Entering the Arashiyama district, travelers will spot the Katsura River and the iconic Togetsukyo Bridge, surrounded by beautiful natural scenery. Upon arrival, the peaceful bamboo grove awaits, providing a sharp contrast to the busy city streets left behind. The journey is a blend of urban excitement and natural beauty, setting the stage for a tranquil day in Arashiyama.
Arashiyama Bamboo Forest
  • 1h 30m
Located in Kyoto’s Arashiyama district, this serene bamboo grove offers an otherworldly experience. Walking through the towering bamboo stalks feels like stepping into a dream. Visitors will stroll along a well-maintained path flanked by the swaying bamboo that creates a rustling sound as the wind passes through, offering a calm, tranquil atmosphere. There are also opportunities to visit nearby cultural landmarks like the Tenryu-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with beautifully landscaped gardens. Travelers can rent bicycles for a more leisurely exploration or enjoy a traditional boat ride along the Hozu River, adjacent to the bamboo forest.
Tōdai-ji
  • 2h
The Tōdai-ji Temple, located within Nara Park, is an iconic Buddhist temple housing the world’s largest bronze Buddha statue, known as Daibutsu. This massive figure stands at 15 meters tall, and the Daibutsuden (Great Buddha Hall) that houses it is one of the largest wooden structures in the world. Travelers can marvel at the sheer scale of the hall and its rich architectural details, as well as the impressive Daibutsu itself. There are also smaller statues, artifacts, and relics within the complex that tell the story of Japan’s Buddhist history. The temple grounds also offer a peaceful environment with scenic gardens, smaller shrines, and picturesque views.
Katsuo-ji Temple
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Katsuo-ji Temple is a historic Buddhist temple located in Minoh City, just north of Osaka, Japan. Founded in the 8th century, it is part of the Koyasan Shingon sect and is renowned for its association with victory and good fortune. The temple's name, which means “Temple of the Victorious King,” reflects its longstanding connection to success in both personal and professional endeavors. Visitors often come to pray for luck, especially in exams, business, and health, and the temple is famous for its countless daruma dolls—symbols of perseverance and wish fulfillment—that are offered by worshippers. Surrounded by lush forest and seasonal flowers, Katsuo-ji offers a peaceful, spiritual retreat, particularly beautiful in autumn when the maple leaves turn vibrant red and gold.
Minoh Falls
  • 1h 30m
Minoh Waterfall (箕面大滝, Minoo Ōtaki) is a breathtaking 33 m cascade nestled within the lush forest of Meiji‑no‑Mori Minoh Quasi‑National Park, just north of Osaka. Revered as one of Japan’s Top 100 Waterfalls, it’s particularly magical during late November to early December, when fiery autumn foliage bathes the area in vivid reds and golds
