Course A - Kyoto World Heritage Tour

We go around the most popular three spots on this course A. These spots are far apart from each other, so we recommend this tour, on which we you can take around shortly by bus.
Each temple has a large garden and unique feature. Wear casual wear so as to do a lot of walking. Let's have a cup of water of Otowa-no-taki at Kiyomizu temple in prayer for longevity. There are provided three types of water. But hold yourself back! It is said that you will lose benefit if you have all of three kinds of water.

Course B - Nara Tour

We extend our visit to Nara on this course B. Nara, which is about one-hour drive from Kyoto, has a different atmosphere from Kyoto.
We go around three famous spots in Nara. Why don't you take a rest between researches, playing with deer? The Great Buddha of Todai-ji temple is the largest class of Buddha. There is a pole with a hole as wide as a nasal cavity of Buddha. Let's duck through the hole, which is said to protect you from illness.

Course C - Let's try to wear
Japanese traditional "Yukata"

On the day of the banquet, we provide you an opportunity to wear "Yukata" and go Toei Kyoto Studio Park, so-called "Eiga village" where the banquet will take place. If you are dressed in Japanese yukata, you will be invited to the feeling of actor/actress of period dramas!
It takes twenty minutes to wear yukata, so please come on the designated time (in order of application). You can go out for lunch or sightsee in Kyoto city with your yukata on. Enjoy the day in Kyoto!

Streets in Kyoto city are laid out in a grid pattern. Subways and buses are secured, and you can ride alone safely.
Kyoto Sightseeing One-day Pass Cards are on sale. Go out for sightseeing with a map in one hand.

Most of temples open early in the morning (about 5:00am - ) and close early in the evening (about 3:00 - 4:00pm). Get up early for sightseeing.
Japan is relatively safe country, but please do not stay out so late at night. Please do not stay for long in the dark nearby temples unnecessarily.
When you lose your way, please do not hesitate to ask for help to any Japanese nearby. Even if you cannot make yourself understood, the name and address of your hotel should lead you to come back.

You can extend your visit from Kyoto to Osaka (about 40-50 min. by rapid train) or to Kobe (about 60-70 min. by rapid train).

Shinsekai (New World) is the most recommendable spot in Osaka!
This is a neighborhood with the common touch. Overlook Osaka city from the top of Tsutenkaku tower. Enjoy atmosphere of Jan Jan Yokocho street. In addition, please have a beer and kushi katsu (kushi age). Be careful that dipping kushi katsu in sauce twice or more is strictly prohibited. How about having a match of go or shogi with old men in the restaurants if you can play?

If you are afraid of Shinsekai a little bit, why don't you visit more stylish district, Namba, which is located around Namba Station?

On the way after praying at Mizukake Fudoson Buddhist statue of Houzenji temple, please try hot takoyaki balls with your mouth full.
There is a very famous and big billboard of Ezaki Glico Co., Ltd., a Japanese confectionery company in Dotonbori. Posing in front of the model on the billboard for a photo is a standard!

Kobe is one of the largest port cities in Japan. Fashion style for Kobe people seems smarter than Kyoto.
Recommendable sightseeing course ― Ijinkan-gai (former residential area of foreign merchants) in Kitano-cho, a city district where many celebrities live now, and then a variety of cafes and restaurants in Nankin-machi, or Chinese town.
Sea is located closely from Nankin-machi. Streets around the sea are wide and beautiful, and there are some fancy cake shops. If you have spare time, go to other spots, such as art museum.
