What you can expect

Board a bus and head out of Osaka for a day of exploring the treasures in Arashiyama, Nara, and Kobe. In Arashiyama, explore Sagano Bamboo Forest and ride the scenic Randen tram line, then visit Nara. Your day ends with dinner and shopping in modern Kobe.

Appreciate the colors of the season as you make your way to Sagano Bamboo Forest. After walking the bamboo-lined path, step aboard the Randen tram, a local line that runs between Arashiyama and Shijo-Omiya, for a scenic ride through the country.

Later, make the drive to Nara Park, famous for its nearly 1,200 wild deer. Your last stop of the day is in Kobe, a historic city that was completely rebuilt after a devastating earthquake in 1995. Enjoy some free time to shop in Mosaic, a large waterfront mall, and admire views of the coast and the modern city. End your day with Kobe Beef Steak set dinner or All-You-Can-Eat Shabu-Shabu (depend on the option).
