Overview

Special Cherry Blossom Viewing Edition (March 27th - April 5th) Special Autumn Foliage Viewing Edition (November 20th - December 10th) On this meticulously designed one-day tour, we will take you to Kyoto's most iconic attractions, allowing you to experience the dual beauty of spring cherry blossoms and autumn foliage. Whether it's the dazzling golden light of Kinkaku-ji Temple or the bamboo groves and old scenic train of Arashiyama, you will gain an unparalleled travel experience in this land rich in nature and history. Cherry Blossom Viewing in Spring (March 27th - April 5th) Kinkaku-ji Temple: Under the spring sun, the glittering golden light of Kinkaku-ji Temple and the cherry blossoms complement each other, forming an elegant spring landscape. When visiting Kinkaku-ji Temple, you can not only admire the beautiful reflection of the Golden Pavilion in Kyoko-chi Pond but also have the opportunity to experience the unique charm of Japanese Zen culture. Arashiyama Cherry Blossom Viewing: The cherry blossoms in the Arashiyama area are intertwined with traditional Japanese landscapes, creating a beautiful picture. The cherry blossom scenery of Togetsukyo Bridge, Tenryu-ji Temple, and the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove Path are even more unmissable highlights in spring. After experiencing these beautiful sights, you will take a specially lit night train to enjoy the charm of Arashiyama's spring cherry blossoms, with the cherry blossom lights along the way illuminating the entire train journey. Autumn Foliage Viewing (November 20th - December 10th) Kinkaku-ji Temple: Under the golden autumn sun and the reflection of autumn leaves, Kinkaku-ji Temple presents a tranquil beauty different from spring. In addition to the classic scenery by Kyoko-chi Pond, you can also find more private autumn views at other autumn foliage spots within the temple, such as Kuromon Gate and Hakujazuka. Arashiyama Autumn Foliage Viewing: Arashiyama in autumn is surrounded by vibrant red leaves. You will experience different layers of autumn beauty at attractions such as Togetsukyo Bridge, Tenryu-ji Temple, and Jojakko-ji Temple. After experiencing the daytime autumn foliage, take a specially lit night train and immerse yourself in the dreamy autumn foliage lights, feeling the unique charm of Arashiyama in autumn. Warm Reminder The itinerary times and activity arrangements vary for each season, so please choose an appropriate date for booking. The spring itinerary focuses on cherry blossoms, and the autumn itinerary focuses on autumn foliage, both including a limited-time night illumination experience on the scenic train.
