Beschrijving

Six days from one Kyoto hotel: Kyoto temples, Arashiyama and Uji, Nara, Osaka, Himeji Castle and Amanohashidate by the Japan Sea.
Keep one hotel in Kyoto and let the van do the moving. Your driver-guide meets you at your hotel each morning and brings you back each evening. You see the best of Kyoto first, then take easy day trips to Nara, Osaka, Himeji Castle and the sand bar of Amanohashidate on the Japan Sea.

Day 1: Classic eastern Kyoto. Fushimi Inari Shrine gates, Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka lanes, Yasaka Shrine and Gion.
Day 2: Arashiyama and Uji. Bamboo grove, Tenryu-ji garden, Togetsukyo Bridge, then Byodo-in Temple in Uji and a matcha tea tasting on the old tea street.
Day 3: Nara. Todai-ji Temple and its giant bronze Buddha, Nara Park where deer roam freely in the park, Kasuga Taisha lanterns, Naramachi old quarter.
Day 4: Osaka. Osaka Castle grounds and keep, Kuromon Market, Shinsekai and Tsutenkaku tower area, Dotonbori canal and neon signs.
Day 5: Himeji Castle. Drive about 1.5 to 2 hours to Himeji Castle, the white heron castle, and Koko-en Garden next to it.
Day 6: Amanohashidate and Ine. Drive about 2 hours north, Amanohashidate sand bar from Kasamatsu Park, Chion-ji Temple, Ine boathouses (funaya) by the bay.

Lunch is included on three days: a matcha tasting set in Uji, a local lunch in Nara and a seafood lunch near Amanohashidate. Driving is short on most days, about 1 hour to Nara or Osaka, and about 2 hours to Himeji or the Japan Sea.

Hotels are not included. You book your own hotel in each overnight town: Kyoto for all 5 nights, and we pick you up there every morning.

Your plan is customizable: on the day you can reorder, skip or swap nearby stops with your guide, as long as it fits within the touring hours.

This is a private tour. Only your group.

If Himeji Castle or Amanohashidate is closed or cancelled on your date, your driver-guide takes you to a similar place nearby instead. For example, we can go to Kobe and Arima Onsen, or Lake Biwa and Hikone Castle, on that day.
