Meals: None
- Welcome to Japan. Upon arrival at Kansai International Airport in Osaka, make your own way to Kyoto and proceed to your hotel for check-in.
- Airport transfers are not included in this package. Depending on your arrival airport and schedule, Kyoto can be reached by train, airport limousine bus, or taxi.
- The remainder of the day is free. If time permits, you may wish to explore the area around your hotel, visit local shops and restaurants, or take a short walk through Kyoto before the guided sightseeing programme begins the following day.
- Overnight in Kyoto.
Highlights: Kinkaku-ji Temple, Nijo Castle
Meals: Breakfast

- In the afternoon, meet your guide and begin your guided tour with your fellow travellers in Kyoto, Japan's former imperial capital for more than 1,000 years.
- Your first stop is Kinkaku-ji Temple (Golden Pavilion), a Zen Buddhist temple covered in gold leaf and one of Kyoto's most recognised landmarks. Surrounded by landscaped gardens and a reflective pond, the temple is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.
- Continue to Nijo Castle, built in 1603 as the Kyoto residence of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Edo Period. Explore the castle grounds and learn about its role in Japan's feudal history. The castle is known for its traditional architecture, decorative interiors, and "nightingale floors" designed to alert residents to approaching visitors.

Highlights: Fushimi Inari Taisha, Senbon Torii Gates, Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Ninenzaka, Sannenzaka, Yasaka Shrine, Gion District
Meals: Breakfast
- After breakfast, continue your exploration of Kyoto's most visited cultural landmarks.
- Begin at Fushimi Inari Taisha, one of Japan's most important Shinto shrines. The shrine is famous for its thousands of vermilion Senbon Torii Gates, which form pathways through the wooded slopes of Mount Inari. These gates have been donated by businesses and individuals over many generations and have become one of Kyoto's most photographed sights. The full round trip hike to the summit takes two to three hours, but many visitors only walk 30 to 40 minutes to the Yotsutsuji intersection because the number of torii gates decreases beyond that point.
- Next, visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site founded in 778. The temple is known for its large wooden stage built without nails and its views across Kyoto.
- Continue on foot through Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka, two preserved streets lined with traditional wooden buildings, tea houses, souvenir shops, and local restaurants. These historic lanes provide a glimpse into Kyoto's past and remain among the city's most popular walking areas.
- Visit Yasaka Shrine, one of Kyoto's most significant Shinto shrines, before continuing to the nearby Gion District, known for its traditional machiya townhouses, tea houses, and geisha culture. While exploring the district, you may see locals dressed in kimono and experience one of Kyoto's best-preserved historic neighbourhoods.

- Continue to Nara Park, where hundreds of deer roam freely throughout the grounds. Considered sacred messengers in the Shinto religion, these deer have become one of the city's best-known symbols.
