Overview

⛩️Kyoto Nara Popular Attractions One-Day Tour｜Arashiyama・Nara Park・Katsuoji Temple Photo Spot Tour｜Deer Crackers Included⛩️ Step into the ancient capitals of Kyoto and Nara for a one-day journey filled with history and natural beauty. First, visit Katsuoji Temple, a famous prayer temple in Osaka, where Daruma dolls are scattered throughout, symbolizing good fortune and success. Next, head to Arashiyama, a popular scenic area in Kyoto, stroll through the bamboo forest path and Togetsukyo Bridge, and experience the natural beauty of Kyoto's changing seasons. Finally, visit Nara Park, explore the World Heritage Site, and create unforgettable travel memories. ✨Little Knowledge✨ ❤️ What is Daruma? Daruma is one of Japan's most representative mascots, symbolizing perseverance, effort, success, and the fulfillment of wishes. Its prototype comes from Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen Buddhism. It is said that Bodhidharma meditated facing a wall for nine years, which is why Daruma dolls are designed to be round and roly-poly, embodying the saying: "Nanakorobi Yaoki" (Fall seven times, stand up eight times). It means no matter how many difficulties you encounter, never give up, and ultimately achieve success. ❤️ What does Katsuoji Temple's Daruma represent? The "victory" here is not just about defeating others. More importantly: "Defeat yesterday's self." Striving to achieve goals, overcome difficulties, and realize dreams – this is the true spirit Katsuoji Temple wishes to convey. ✨ Katsuoji Temple Daruma Postcard Stamp Collection Experience When you visit Katsuoji Temple, don't miss the super popular "Daruma Stamp Collection Experience"! Visitors can pick up (or purchase) a special card at the temple and follow a map to find unique stamps scattered throughout the temple grounds. Explore the temple step by step along the pilgrimage route, stamp different patterns in designated locations, and finally complete your own unique Daruma commemorative postcard. ❤️ Friendly Interaction with Deer Nara's deer are considered messengers of the gods and are an important cultural symbol of the area. ⚠️Please do not get too close to the Nara deer to avoid accidents. ⚠️ Please note!!! Starting from 9/10, deer crackers will no longer be provided during the tour.
