Attractions and Activities: Arashiyama (Free entry) First, we'll make our way to Arashiyama, where we'll enjoy a traditional Japanese lunch of seasonal Kyoto specialties (If option selected) before exploring the area. The Sagano Bamboo forest has been a popular nature-viewing destination since the Heian Period. Listen to the distinct rustle of bamboo leaves as you walk through the vibrant green bamboo path.

Attractions and Activities: Kinkakuji Temple (Ticket included) Later, drive through Kyoto proper and arrive at Kinkaku-ji: the Golden Pavilion. True to its name, the gold-leaf covered temple dazzles in the sunlight, reflected in the mirror-like pond it overlooks. After admiring the sight (and taking some great pictures,) wander through the sprawling garden that has retained its original design from the 14th century. Admission tickets not included in last minute option. 45 min(s)
Attractions and Activities: Nara Park (Free entry) Take a short walk through Nara Park, famous for the 1,200 or so wild deer that live freely within the park. With special "shika-senbei," you can feed the polite deer which are famous for "bowing." Within Nara Park you will find the UNESCO World Heritage site, Todai-ji Temple, home to one of the three titanic Great Buddha Statues of Japan. 1 hr(s)
Attractions and Activities: 東大寺 四月堂 (Ticket included) Todai-ji is home to one of the three Great Buddha Statues in Japan. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was first established in the 8th century! 30 min(s)
