Activity itinerary

Nara Park
  • 1h 20m
  • Admission ticket included
Nara Deer Park: 1 hour 20 minutes Visit the charming Nara Deer Park, a sprawling park where over 1,000 free-roaming deer, considered sacred messengers of the gods in Shinto belief, welcome you with curiosity and playfulness. Located in the heart of Nara, this park offers a unique and delightful experience as you interact with these friendly animals. Purchase special deer crackers (shika senbei) to feed them, and watch as they politely bow in gratitude before enjoying their treat—a behaviour that fascinates visitors of all ages. Stroll through the park's picturesque pathways, surrounded by lush greenery, traditional lanterns, and views of nearby historical sites like the iconic Todaiji Temple.
Arashiyama Bamboo Forest

As you walk along the winding paths, you’ll be surrounded by towering stalks of green bamboo, gently swaying in the breeze and creating a serene, almost otherworldly atmosphere. The sunlight filtering through the bamboo creates a magical play of light and shadow, perfect for photography and quiet reflection. The forest is part of the larger Arashiyama district, which offers stunning views of the Katsura River and the iconic Togetsu-kyo Bridge, just a short walk away. Whether you're seeking peace, inspiration, or Instagram-worthy moments, this bamboo grove is an unforgettable highlight of any Kyoto visit.

The garden features a large pond, beautifully arranged rock formations, and meticulously maintained plants, offering a peaceful setting for reflection and relaxation. Take time to admire the temple’s architecture, a fine example of traditional Zen style, and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere that has been preserved for centuries. The temple is a place of spiritual significance and offers a deep connection to Kyoto’s history and culture.

Whether you're visiting in spring, when cherry blossoms line the riverbanks, or in autumn, when the foliage turns brilliant shades of red and orange, Togetsukyō Bridge provides an unforgettable backdrop for scenic walks. The bridge's name, meaning "Moon Crossing Bridge," reflects its timeless elegance and the serenity that has made it a beloved symbol of Kyoto.
