Take a local train to the iconic Fushimi Inari Taisha, where thousands of vibrant red torii gates wind through forested hillside paths. In the evening, join your CEO for a guided walk through the atmospheric Gion District, where lantern-lit streets and traditional wooden machiya townhouses bring old Kyoto to life

Then, enjoy a free afternoon to uncover the timeless beauty and spiritual heart of Kyoto

Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Arrival in Osaka

There are no activities planned until an evening welcome meeting. Please ensure you arrive on time for the welcome meeting and bring your passport so your CEO can collect the required information for your train tickets. Refer to your voucher for the most up to date welcome meeting time. The most convenient way to get around Japan is by public transportation and on foot. The country's train system is often considered one of the best in the entire world so the majority of our trips utilize this efficient train network. In this tour, you will need to be able to spend the majority of the day on your feet and carry your luggage through busy train stations and streets.
