Our Favourites

🌸 Visit the three most beautiful secret places in Kansai in one day, from the blessing place to the secret ancient village, to the natural beauty that must be visited in Kyoto, immerse yourself in a journey intertwined with Japanese style and humanities. 🚌 Get on the bus in Osaka, and choose to get off in Osaka/Kyoto, which is flexible and convenient for your itinerary arrangement.


🛕 Arrive at [Katsuoji Temple] in northern Osaka in the morning. Step into the vermilion mountain gate and the purification bridge, as if entering a spiritual world. Cleanse yourself and get rid of evil in the lingering mist, and the tumbler Daruma on the mountain symbolizes victory and persistence. You can experience the prayer process of painting the right eye for Daruma, and there are six commemorative stamps waiting to be collected. After completing it, you can get a limited edition Katsuoji Temple postcard and take it home with full blessings.


🏡 Then go to [Miyama Thatched Village] in Kyoto, which is one of the three major thatched villages in Japan, and the quaint Edo period style is still vivid. Stroll through the traditional thatched houses, feel time stand still, get away from the hustle and bustle, and experience the authentic rural style.


🌿 Visit [Arashiyama] in the afternoon. The Togetsukyo Bridge spans the Katsura River, and the changing scenery of the four seasons unfolds like a picture scroll. Walk through the Sagano bamboo forest, listen to the rustling sound of bamboo shadows blown by the wind, and enjoy the pure music of nature. The "Yuzen Korin" light and shadow installation next to the station transforms traditional kimono patterns into a dreamy scene. 💖 You can also go to Nonomiya Shrine, a marriage sanctuary hidden deep in the bamboo forest, which is said to be extremely effective. Come here with a wish, and maybe love will sprout. 🌸 At the end of the journey, stroll through the Tenryuji Garden. The pond is like a mirror, reflecting the scenery of the four seasons, which is a perfect end to this trip to Kansai.


Look forward to experiencing the natural and cultural beauty of Kansai with you, and harvesting full of touching and memories! ✨
