- Overview
-
- Embark on a journey to the beautiful areas of Kyoto and Nara. Admire the exquisite architecture of the famous Kinkakuji Temple, a structure completely covered in gold leaf. Take a stroll around the garden surrounding the temple and gaze at the glittering reflection of the temple on the still pond.
- Head to the scenic Arashiyama and walk through the green jade bamboo forests as the sunlight illuminates the forest. Cross the Togetsu-kyo Bridge for spectacular panoramic views of the Katsura River, then visit Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine. Stroll through the shrine’s 10,000 torii gates that appear as a seemingly endless tunnel.
- Wander through the pathways of Nara Park and keep an eye out for the many adorable deer that live there. Enjoy close encounters and bask in the lush forest views. Take a 15-min walk to Todaiji Temple, home of the world’s largest bronze Buddha statue.
