A private day trip in your own Toyota Alphard with driver: hotel pickup in Osaka or Kyoto, then Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Arashiyama, Fushimi Inari Taisha and Nara Park & Todai-ji. About 12 hours on this route, priced per car for up to 6 guests. You enter your hotel (or a station) and the pickup time in the booking form.
The car price does not include a guide, entry tickets, rides, experiences, meals, tolls or parking.
The Golden Pavilion floating on its pond, the bamboo grove and Togetsukyo Bridge at Arashiyama, the endless vermilion torii tunnels climbing the hill at Fushimi Inari, and finally Nara Park where the deer bow for a cracker in front of the Great Buddha's hall. You can start from Osaka or Kyoto and finish in either — useful on the day you change hotels.
