Multiple kimono rental shops available (Kiyomizu-dera shop pick-up, Fushimi Inari shop return). (Cost not included)
Attractions Introduction:
【Kiyomizu-dera】A UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site and one of Kyoto's most popular attractions. Founded in 778, it is an ancient temple. Jishu Shrine, located north of the main hall, is famous for matchmaking and praying for love.
【Ninenzaka & Sannenzaka】Sloped streets outside Kiyomizu-dera, representing traditional Kyoto architecture. The streets are lined with old-style Japanese buildings, offering souvenirs, snacks, paper fans, dolls, and chopsticks.
【Ishibei-koji】 At the end of Ninenzaka, turn right and walk north to find this quiet cobblestone street. Traditional Japanese houses on both sides create a serene atmosphere away from the crowds.
【Gion & Hanami-koji】Ancient geisha district. Even today, some geisha schools train in tea ceremony, flower arranging, koto, gagaku, kyogen, maiko, and bunraku. The street stretches about 1 km from north (modern) to south (traditional), with charming tea houses and wooden lattice doors.
【Yasaka Shrine】Located in Higashiyama, Kyoto, this historic shrine is famous in the Kansai region. Visitors can draw fortune slips, write ema, and get omamori. Heart-shaped ema for love prayers are especially popular.
Guests can enjoy a local Kyoto-style lunch while appreciating traditional architecture - perfect for photography.

▼ Fushimi Inari Taisha
Famous for its "Senbon Torii"(thousands of red torii gates), Fushimi Inari Taisha attracts countless domestic and international visitors every year. It has been ranked the #1 most popular Japanese attraction for foreign travelers for three consecutive years in global surveys. Here, you can pray for yourself and your loved ones.
The shrine's ema (votive plaques) are uniquely shaped like white foxes, allowing for creative doodling with fun expressions.

▼ Nara Park
Located at the base of Wakakusa Mountain in Nara City, Nara Park houses famous historical sites like Todai-ji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine, making it a must-visit. Wakakusa Mountain offers fantastic views of Nara, and traditional events like the Wakakusa Yamayaki Festival are held here in January.
Strolling leisurely through the park is a great way to enjoy the scenery. The park is home to friendly deer, which approach visitors for deer crackers — be careful, as groups of deer can crowd around!
Recommended Visit: Todai-ji Temple (entrance fee not included)
Also known as Daibutsuden, it was built in 752 by Emperor Shomu to house the Great Buddha and serve as the head temple of the Kegon sect. After two fires, the current structure was rebuilt in 1692, covering two-thirds of the original. The main hall measures 57 m wide and 50 m deep, making it one of the largest wooden buildings in the world.
Inside is the Great Buddha statue, over 15 m tall, and the temple grounds also feature the South Gate, Nigatsu-do, and Sangatsu-do halls.

▼ Shinsaibashi & Dotonbori
After sightseeing, the tour can end at Shinsaibashi, or guests can be sent back to their hotel/apartment.
【Shinsaibashi】A famous shopping street in Osaka, home to large department stores, chain drugstores, long-established shops, and small boutiques. Brands like Hello Kitty and Disney have stores here. Popular with shoppers, especially for cosmetics and skincare, many stores offer Chinese-speaking staff and support UnionPay cards.
【Dotonbori】The symbol of Osaka's food culture, bustling day and night. Known as the birthplace of the "eat until you drop" culture, Dotonbori offers street food like takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and Kinryu ramen, traditional izakaya, and trendy restaurants such as Kani Doraku, which is especially popular with Chinese tourists.

Note: This visit does not include Kitano Ijinkan Street or Kobe Port.

▼Arima Onsen (Approx. 1.5 hours, free exploration)
One of Japan's three oldest hot spring towns, Arima Onsen has a history spanning centuries. The town features ancient inns, local specialty shops, and historic temples, with the streets filled with the aroma of hot springs.
Walking through Arima Onsen offers a glimpse into traditional Japanese culture and history. Steam rises from the streets, marking different types of hot springs. Visitors can enjoy local delicacies while exploring the town.
Recommended day-use hot springs (fees not included):
Taiko no Yu (292-2 Ikenojiri, Kita-ku, Kobe) is a large hot spring theme park (approx. 7,000 ㎡) offering three famous Arima springs: Golden Spring, Silver Spring, and Carbonated Spring, providing a complete hot spring experience.

▼Rokko Mountain Night View
(If the cable car is temporarily closed due to weather or other uncontrollable factors, extra time at Arima Onsen will be added.)
Rokko Mountain, near Kobe, is part of Setonaikai National Park and is one of the best spots to enjoy Kobe's night view, often ranked as one of Japan's top three night views.
In winter, sunset occurs around 16:30pm–16:50pm. Even before full nightfall, visitors can enjoy a beautiful golden sunset painting across the sky.
Rokko Cable Car (六甲ケーブル): Due to the steep mountain roads, buses can cause motion sickness. Experience the unique Rokko Cable Car (fee not included). Operating hours: 7:10am–21:10pm, No holidays.
Rokko Observation Deck: Named in 1981 by Emperor Showa, it is located next to Rokko Cable Car's upper station and is one of the three recommended night view spots on Rokko Mountain.
The night view of Kobe was designated as a "Million Dollar Night View" in 1953 (based on electricity costs at the time). By 2005, the night view was estimated to cost over ten million dollars per day to light, earning it the nickname "Ten Million Dollar Night View". Visitors can enjoy panoramic views from Wakayama to the Akashi Strait.
Note: From 23 Aug to 30 Nov, the observation deck hosts Kobe Rokko MEETS ART 2025 beyond, during which a fee applies (not included).
