[Exclusive Discount] Departure from Kyoto: Kyoto & Nara 1-Day Bus Tour - Kiyomizudera, Fushimi Inari, Nara Park

Kyoto's Essence in a Full Course,
From Kiyomizu-dera to Gion at Once

Start your journey around Kiyomizu-dera Temple, where you can feel Kyoto's atmosphere most intensely. After exploring the World Heritage site, Kiyomizu-dera, take a leisurely stroll along the Ninenzaka & Sannenzaka streets, browsing traditional machiya houses, souvenir shops, and dessert spots. The walk itself is picturesque, perfect for photos. Step away from the crowded streets to discover the quiet alleyways of Ishibei-koji, where the cobblestone paths and traditional houses offer a serene Kyoto experience.

Then, move to Gion Hanamikoji to soak in the atmosphere of Kyoto's geisha district and make a wish at Yasaka Shrine. This segment includes free time for lunch, allowing you to savor Kyoto-style cuisine at a restaurant of your choice. If you'd like to walk around in a kimono, consider renting one near Kiyomizu-dera before your stroll.

A Walk Through Thousands of Torii Gates,
Fushimi Inari Shrine

Next is Fushimi Inari Shrine, a landmark of Kyoto. Walking through the endless path of vermilion torii gates gives you an immediate sense of being in Kyoto. The torii tunnel section is a photo hotspot, ensuring great shots even without trying too hard. This is why it's so satisfying even with a short visit. After your visit, check out the fox-shaped ema (votive tablets). Writing your wishes on them will make for a pleasant memory of your trip.

Healing Stroll with Deer in Nara Park,
Including Todai-ji Temple

Finally, it's Nara Park. Stroll through the expansive park, meet deer up close, and soak in Nara's unique peaceful atmosphere. Feeding the deer is a must-do popular experience in Nara, loved by first-timers. The deer are accustomed to people and often approach when they see food. Be careful not to get too crowded, give the food slowly, and enjoy while keeping an eye on your surroundings.

If time allows, a visit to Todai-ji Temple is also recommended. Famous for its massive wooden architecture and Great Buddha, it offers a different scale of Japan's ancient capital charm compared to Kyoto. Todai-ji Temple entrance fee is separate.
