Overview

Depart from Nipponbashi, Osaka, for a unique day trip blending Kansai’s history and nature.

Your journey begins in Nara, where you will stroll alongside friendly deer in Nara Park, marvel at Todaiji Temple’s Great Buddha, and experience the sacred Kasuga Taisha Shrine.

Next, refresh your senses at Akame 48 Waterfalls, walking peaceful forest trails alongside clear streams.

The tour concludes at Tanzan Shrine, famous for its striking autumn colors. Depending on the season, you may experience its magical evening illumination.
