What you can expect

Embark on a mesmerising journey through Japan’s spiritual heart, where ancient temples, breathtaking nature, and world-class cuisine come together for an unforgettable experience.

Katsuo-ji Temple – The Temple of Victory

Start your day at Katsuo-ji, a peaceful Buddhist temple nestled in the mountains of Minoh. Known as the “Temple of Victory,” it offers a serene atmosphere filled with vibrant seasonal flowers and countless “Victory Dharma” dolls left by those who’ve overcome personal struggles. Don’t miss the unique Sixty-Four Kua Dharma Lottery, a rare spiritual fortune-telling practice exclusive to this sacred site.

Byodo-in Temple – A Glimpse Into Japan’s Past

Step into history at Byodo-in, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its stunning Phoenix Hall, reflected peacefully on a lotus pond. This Heian-era masterpiece, over 1,000 years old, offers a serene blend of architectural elegance and spiritual harmony.

Indulgent Shabu-Shabu Lunch

Delight in an unforgettable lunch featuring A5 Kobe beef shabu-shabu—melt-in-your-mouth wagyu beef—and Kyoto pork and tofu shabu-shabu, simmered to perfection in a fragrant broth.

Arashiyama – Nature’s Masterpiece

End your day in the breathtaking beauty of Arashiyama. Cross the iconic Togetsukyo Bridge, renowned for its stunning views, and wander through the tranquil Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, a serene path where towering bamboo stalks envelop you in peace and natural beauty. Tenryuji Temple has a gate facing the street heading north from Nakanoshima on the Katsura River across the Togetsu Bridge in Arashiyama, a tourist destination in Kyoto.

This 1-Day Bus tour is a perfect fusion of Japan’s spiritual treasures, historic landmarks, and exquisite flavours—an experience that will stay with you long after the day ends.
