This day trip takes you to discover three of Kansai's most beautiful locations: the tranquil Nara Park, the bustling city of Osaka and Kobe city. This tour provides a blend of culture, nature and city exploration, all starting from Kyoto.
Your adventure begins at Nara Park, where free-roaming deer share their habitat with visitors. As you amble through the park, interact with the deer and absorb the delightful surroundings.
The journey continues to Osaka, where you can visit the grand Osaka Castle, encircled by exquisite gardens. Following this, you'll explore the lively Dōtonbori district, characterised by dazzling neon lights, dynamic crowds, and street food such as takoyaki and okonomiyaki.
In the late afternoon, travel to the cosmopolitan port city of Kobe. Here, you’ll have time to explore Kobe’s Chinatown (Nankinmachi), known for its colourful streets and variety of international cuisine. Then, you'll take a relaxing walk along the harbour front, where modern architecture meets ocean views, before a comfortable return to Kyoto.
