Know More about this tour
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Arashiyama, Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture, Kinki
At Arashiyama, you will tour the Arashiyama district located in the Western part of Kyoto. This area becomes most attractive around early April and late November when the cherry blossoms bloom and fall color seasons usually peak. During the summer months, traditional cormorant fishing is practiced on the Hozu River for tourists to watch. One highly recommended spot is the Sagano Bamboo Forest. It is a pleasantly cool 100m long walkway that begins from the side of the world heritage Tenryuji Temple. Later, you will have lunch at a buffet of filled with an assortment of 60 Kyoto dishes or Chicken sukiyaki set lunch.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Kinkakuji Temple, Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture, Kinki
After lunch, you will tour the Kinkaku-ji temple. Kinkaku, a pagoda made to house the sacred relics of the Buddha, has given this temple the popular name of Kinkaku-ji (Temple of the Golden Pavilion). But the official name of this branch temple of the Rinzai sect Zen temple of Shokoku-ji is Rokuon-ji. This complex, whose gardens and architecture focused around a central Golden Pavilion, was said to evoke paradise on earth. And the view of Kinkaku which is reflected in the Kyoko-chi (Mirror Pond) is very beautiful. This was built by the third Ashikaga Shogun Yoshimitsu for his own villa but turned into a temple after his death. This temple was rebuilt in 1955.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Nara Park, Nara, Nara Prefecture, Kinki
Nara Park is famous for the 1,200 or so wild deer that live freely within the park. Within Nara Park you will find the Todai-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Halal lunch is not worth the money.... tour guide is okay .... need additional hours to enjoy the trip...the time table for each attraction is very short because they need to go to Kobe for different tour.

Amazing! Well timed and lots to see. The deers and the golden pavilion were the highlights for me. We also had the sweetest guides.

It was a very rushed trip throughout. We had an hour for each location but there was so much more to explore! Wished we had gone to Kyoto ourselves instead of joining this tour. Lunch was delicious.
