[Exclusive for departure from Osaka] Kiyomizu-dera Temple - its name comes from "Otowa Taki", and drinking its water is said to cure all diseases; the "Jishu Shrine" dedicated to Yuexia Lao Ren is well-known throughout the country for its love fortune-telling. Those who want to pray for a good match should try the Marriage Stone, which is said to bring marriage if you walk straight from one side of the stone to the other with your eyes closed until you touch the stone; in addition, the 200-meter Sanning Trail in front of the temple is lined with Beijing-style shops, waiting for you to explore. In addition, Kiyomizu-dera Temple was listed as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage in 1994. From here you can overlook the entire city of Kyoto. Its beautiful scenery attracts many tourists from Japan and abroad every year. Especially when the red leaves, cherry blossoms and new green are in full bloom, the different scenery will be even more charming and make people linger.
[Exclusive tour from Osaka] Arashiyama is the most representative tourist attraction in Kyoto and a popular filming location for period dramas. The Togetsukyo Bridge in Arashiyama is about 200 meters long and still retains its original 17th-century appearance restored with steel frames. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of Arashiyama from the bridge, which is full of artistic conception in the quietness, as if time and space have been reversed, allowing you to recall the life scenes in ancient Kyoto.
[Exclusive for departure from Kyoto] Byodo-in Temple is the masterpiece of the Fujiwara clan that brought back the paradise of their dreams to the world. During the heyday of the Fujiwara clan regime in the Heian period, Fujiwara no Yorimichi built Byodo-in Temple as his own villa. The water of the Uji River was introduced into the courtyard. The cherry blossoms, azaleas and lotus flowers in the garden are fragrant and beautiful. The most famous building in the courtyard is the Phoenix Hall. The Phoenix Hall was originally named Amida Hall because it enshrined the seated statue of Amida Tathagata. Later, because its appearance resembled a bird flapping its wings and about to fly, and there were phoenixes on both sides of the beams and pillars, it was called the Phoenix Hall. The building engraved with the pattern on the 10-yen copper plate is the Phoenix Hall, which shows its status.
[Exclusive for departure from Kyoto] Todaiji Temple in Nara - A masterpiece of the heyday of Buddhism in the Nara period, it is the largest existing wooden building in the world. Because Todaiji Temple was built as a Kokubunji Temple, it became a place to pray for peace in the world. A place where all people live in happiness and prosperity. At the same time, Todaiji Temple also had the tasks of studying Buddhist doctrines and training monks. It established the Six Sects of the Nara Period, including the Kegon Sect, and later added the various research institutes (Sōsho) of the Tendai and Shingon sects of the Heian Period, becoming a scholarly temple that studied all eight sects.
[Only available from Kyoto] Nara Park is located at the foot of Mount Wakakusa in Nara City. Todaiji Temple, Kasuga Taisha Shrine and other famous places of interest in Nara are all here. It is a must-see place for tourists in Nara. Wakakusa, located near the park, is a great place to overlook the scenery of Nara, and traditional events such as the "Wakakusa Burning the Mountain" are held here every January. A leisurely stroll is the best way to visit the park. It is also the place with the largest concentration of deer, and feeding the deer is also the biggest attraction. The deer here are also very spiritual and are regarded as messengers of God. They will come to you when they see deer biscuits in your hands. You can take photos with the cute deer at this time.
