  • Kiyomizu Temple Area

Recommended itinerary

Recommendation 1: Kiyomizu Temple (ticket fee is at your own expense) - Ninzanzaka, Sannenzaka - Ishibe-koji - Gion, Hanami-koji - Yasaka Shrine

Guests can choose to visit some attractions according to their preferences and physical condition.

Recommendation 2: Kimono experience. Interested guests can put on a kimono, stroll along the ancient streets, visit Kiyomizu Temple, and capture the most beautiful moment.

(You can choose to return kimonos at any of the many kimono shops including Kiyomizu Temple and Fushimi Inari Shrine. We recommend that you borrow from Kiyomizu Temple and return them at Fushimi Inari. Please pay for the expenses yourself.)

Additional recommended attractions:

【Gion·Hana-koji】An ancient and famous flower street. In the 1960s, there were nearly a thousand geishas in Kyoto. Today, there are still dozens of geisha teachers who provide training in traditional tea ceremony, flower arrangement, koto, gagaku, kyogen, maiko, bunraku, etc. Walking into the flower street, an ancient atmosphere hits you: tea houses with exquisite facades on both sides, wooden lattice windows and doors are tightly closed... This is a mysterious path running from north to south, with a total length of about 1 kilometer. The northern section is modern, the southern section is traditional, and the north and south have their own styles and are leading the trend.

(You can enjoy Kyoto-style lunch, admire the ancient Japanese-style buildings, and take photos with your mobile phone camera)

  • Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine

Fushimi Inari Taisha is famous for its "Thousand Torii Gates". It attracts countless tourists from Japan and abroad every year. It has been ranked first in the "Most Popular Japanese Attraction for Foreigners" in a survey conducted by the world's largest travel website for three consecutive years. Let's pray for ourselves and our beloved family here. In addition, the painted horse of Fushimi Inari Taisha is also unique. It is in the shape of a white fox, and you can use your imagination to doodle various expressions.

  • Nara Park

Nara Park is an urban park located at the foot of Mount Wakakusa in Nara City. Todaiji Temple, Kasuga Taisha Shrine and other Nara attractions are all here. It is a must-see for tourists in Nara. Mount Wakakusa, located near the park, is a wonderful place to overlook the scenery of Nara. Traditional activities such as "Wakakusa Burning the Mountain" are held here every January. A leisurely stroll is the best way to visit the park. There is also the most concentrated herd of deer here. Feeding the cute little deer is also the biggest attraction for tourists. The deer here are also very spiritual. They will come to you when they see tourists with deer biscuits in their hands, so you need to be careful of groups of deer coming to pounce on you.

  • Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori areas

Guests can choose to spend about 1 hour in the Shinsaibashi area of Osaka. After the tour, guests who have the boarding package can disband directly in the Shinsaibashi area to end the trip. Guests who have the hotel/homestay drop-off/pick-up package should wait for the shuttle bus to arrive and then be sent back to the hotel/homestay to end the trip.

Shinsaibashi: Osaka's most famous shopping street, it is home to large department stores, chain drugstores, old brand stores and small shops. There are all kinds of goods of all grades and styles, and Hello Kitty and Disney stores are also located here. It is also a gathering place for drugstores that girls like, and you can buy cosmetics and skin care products at will. Most stores are equipped with Chinese shopping guides and accept UnionPay card payments, so you can easily enjoy the fun of shopping.

Dotonbori: a synonym for Osaka's food, a street that never rests, whether it's day or night. As the birthplace of Osaka's so-called "eat until you drop" food culture, Dotonbori has many delicious snacks such as octopus balls, okonomiyaki, and Jinlong ramen, as well as traditional Japanese izakayas and various Internet celebrity restaurants, such as the popular Kani Doraku.
