About Japan Kyoto Kiyomizu Temple Fushimi Inari Shrine Nara Park Todaiji Temple 13 people small group one-day tour Day Tours
Embark on a seamless small-group journey from Osaka to explore the iconic highlights of Kyoto and Nara in just one day. Wander through the mesmerizing torii gates of Fushimi Inari, marvel at the giant Buddha in Todaiji Temple, and interact with friendly deer in Nara Park, all while enjoying the comfort of a 13-person max group and round-trip transport.
Local Legends & Stories
Legend says that if you can successfully walk the 18 meters between the two love stones at Jishu Shrine near Kiyomizu Temple with your eyes closed, you will find true love. Meanwhile, the deer of Nara are considered sacred messengers of the Shinto gods, a status they have held since the founding of the Kasuga Grand Shrine over a thousand years ago.
Must Do Experiences
-
Stroll through the thousands of vibrant vermilion torii gates winding up the forested slopes of Fushimi Inari Shrine.
-
Interact with the famous bowing deer and feed them special deer crackers in the expansive grounds of Nara Park.
-
Stand on the wooden stage of Kiyomizu Temple for breathtaking panoramic views of Kyoto's cityscape and surrounding hills.
-
Gaze up at the awe-inspiring 15-meter-tall bronze Great Buddha statue housed within the massive wooden structure of Todaiji Temple.
Hidden Gems
-
Visit the Jishu Shrine located just behind Kiyomizu Temple's main hall, dedicated to the deity of love and matchmaking, where you can try walking between the love stones with your eyes closed.
-
Look out for the clever deer in Nara Park that have learned to bow politely when they spot tourists holding deer crackers, a unique behavior not seen in wild deer elsewhere.
-
Explore the quieter, moss-covered sub-temples and serene pathways tucked away just off the main bustling streets of the Higashiyama district near Kiyomizu.
What Makes it Special
-
Enjoy an intimate and personalized experience with a strict maximum of 13 travellers, avoiding the crowds of standard large coach tours.
-
Benefit from the ultimate convenience of hassle-free round-trip transportation and hotel pick-up and drop-off directly from Osaka.
-
Guaranteed daily departures even for solo travellers, making it incredibly easy to fit this comprehensive Kansai highlights tour into any itinerary.
Available Facilities
Perfect Timing
When to visit for the best experience
Early morning is the best time to explore Fushimi Inari to capture the torii gates without the heavy crowds, while late afternoon offers beautiful golden hour lighting at Kiyomizu Temple. Spring and autumn are the most spectacular and popular times to visit due to the cherry blossoms and fall foliage, though you should expect larger crowds and book well in advance.
Photography Guide
Capture the perfect shots
-
For the best photos at Fushimi Inari, hike about 15 to 20 minutes up the main path to escape the dense crowds and capture the winding gates in peaceful solitude.
-
Capture the iconic stage of Kiyomizu Temple from the viewing platforms across the ravine to get the entire wooden structure framed by seasonal foliage.
-
When photographing the deer in Nara Park, get down to their eye level and use a fast shutter speed to capture their playful movements and bowing antics.
Cultural Etiquette
Respect local customs and traditions
When visiting Shinto shrines like Fushimi Inari and Buddhist temples like Todaiji, bow slightly before passing through the main gates and avoid walking directly in the center of the path, which is reserved for the deities. Remember to speak softly, refrain from eating while walking in sacred areas, and always ask for permission before taking close-up photographs of monks or locals.
Special Events & Experiences
Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights
-
Experience the magical Kiyomizu Temple Special Night Illumination during spring and autumn, where the temple and surrounding trees are beautifully lit up after dark.
-
Witness the spectacular Nara Tokae Lantern Festival in August, where thousands of candles light up the pathways of Nara Park and create a romantic, ethereal atmosphere.
-
Enjoy the vibrant autumn foliage season from mid-November to early December, which transforms the hillsides of Kyoto and Nara into a stunning canvas of red, orange, and gold.
Important Guidelines & Safety
Essential safety information and guidelines
-
Keep a safe distance from the deer in Nara Park and do not tease them with food, as they can become aggressive and nip if they feel provoked.
-
Watch your step on the uneven stone paths and steep staircases at Kiyomizu Temple and Fushimi Inari, especially during rainy weather when the surfaces can be slippery.
-
Stay hydrated and carry a small towel or cooling wipes during the hot and humid Japanese summer months to prevent heat exhaustion while walking outdoors.
Visitor Information
Entry Fee
This tour package covers all transportation, driver, and pick-up and drop-off services, but entrance fees to Kiyomizu Temple and Todaiji Temple are not included and must be paid directly at the venues. Children under a certain age may receive discounted or free entry at the temples, so please bring cash in Japanese Yen to cover these additional costs.
Visit Duration
This comprehensive one-day tour spans approximately 10 to 12 hours from pick-up to drop-off, allowing ample time to explore all four major attractions. If you are short on time at any stop, prioritize the main halls of Kiyomizu and Todaiji, and the lower torii gates at Fushimi Inari to make the most of your visit.
Accessibility
While the tour bus and main grounds of Nara Park are wheelchair accessible, Kiyomizu Temple and Fushimi Inari involve steep slopes, gravel paths, and numerous staircases that are challenging for wheelchairs and strollers. Visitors with mobility concerns should consult with the driver upon pick-up to identify the most accessible viewing points at each location.
