Day 4: Osaka – Nara – Kyoto

This morning, first visit the famous landmark Osaka Castle Garden. Surrounded by greenery, the garden commands a beautiful view of the castle tower and the stone wall of a moat. Then enjoy some free time in Shinsaibasi, the premier shopping area in Osaka. Around 600 meters long, it’s filled with trendy boutiques, retail chains, and luxury department stores like Daimaru, UniQlo, H&M, Bulgari, and Zara. Crossing the street and out of the covered arcade, you’ll walk into this open area and see that large Glico man sign. That’s when you know you’re in Dotnobori. Originally installed in 1935, the giant Glico Man is Dotonbori’s most iconic landmark. It’s a symbol for the Glico candy company, makers of caramel candy and Pocky.

Make your way to Nara, a city shrouded in legend and thronged with significant sites. Make a special visit to Nara Deer Park, home to the freely roaming deer. Considered in Shinto to be messengers of the gods, Nara's nearly 1200 deer have become a symbol of the city and have even been designated as a natural treasure. Nara's deer are surprisingly tame, although they can be aggressive if they think you will feed them. Deer crackers are for sale around the park, and some deer have learned to bow to visitors to ask to be fed.

In the afternoon drive to Kyoto and visit Kyoto Fushimi Inari Shrine, famous for its thousands of vermilion torii gates, which straddle a network of trails behind its main buildings. The trails lead into the wooded forest of the sacred Mount Inari, which stands at 233 meters and belongs to the shrine grounds. Fushimi Inari is the most important of several thousands of shrines dedicated to Inari, the Shinto god of rice. Foxes are thought to be Inari's messengers, resulting in many fox statues across the shrine grounds. Fushimi Inari Shrine has ancient origins, predating the capital's move to Kyoto in 794.

Optional Programs-(Choose before the trip):

      1) Day6-Kyoto City Tour with Lunch: CAD 220 per person:

Highlights:

Kiyomizu Shrine (http://www.kiyomizudera.or.jp/en/)

Kinkakuji Temple (http://www.shokoku-ji.jp/k_access.html)

Yasaka Shrine (http://www.yasaka-jinja.or.jp/)

*Gion gesya Street (http://www.gion.or.jp/)


The optional tour will first make a stop at Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion), a Zen temple in northern Kyoto whose top two floors are completely covered in gold leaf. Formally known as Rokuonji, the temple was the retirement villa of the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and according to his will it became a Zen temple of the Rinzai sect after his death in 1408. Kinkakuji was the inspiration for the similarly named Ginkakuji (Silver Pavilion), built by Yoshimitsu's grandson, Ashikaga Yoshimasa, on the other side of the city a few decades later. Kinkakuji is an impressive structure built overlooking a large pond, and is the only building left of Yoshimitsu's former retirement complex. It has burned down numerous times throughout its history including twice during the Onin War, a civil war that destroyed much of Kyoto; and once again more recently in 1950 when it was set on fire by a fanatic monk. The present structure was rebuilt in 1955.

Then visit Kiyomizu Shrine, one of the most celebrated temples of Japan. It was founded in 780 on the site of the Otowa Waterfall in the wooded hills east of Kyoto, and derives its name from the fall's pure waters. The temple was originally associated with the Hosso sect, one of the oldest schools within Japanese Buddhism, but formed its own Kita Hosso sect in 1965. In 1994, the temple was added to the list of UNESCO world heritage sites.

The last stop of the optional tour will be attending a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. It is a choreographic ritual of preparing and serving Japanese green tea, called Matcha, together with traditional Japanese sweets to balance with the bitter taste of the tea. Preparing tea in this ceremony means pouring all one's attention into the predefined movements. The whole process is not about drinking tea, but is about aesthetics, preparing a bowl of tea from one's heart.

The optional tour will end at 4pm and you will be transferred to Hamanako.


 2) Day9-Nikko National Park Day Trip with Lunch: CAD 250 per person:

Highlights:

Enjoy the convenience of round-trip transportation from Tokyo on this comprehensive tour.

Climb aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned coach after morning pickup from your Tokyo hotel and begin the scenic drive the Nikko, a serene city at the entrance of Nikko National Park.

【Special Remarks】

Although we would be happy to assist your shopping needs, UTO vacation would not be responsible for price, quality, and service of any goods purchased during the tour.

After the booking is confirmed, if the price increased following the imposition of a surcharge on fuel by the carrier or an increase in the exchange rate, insofar as the exchange rate applicable before the date on which the services are provided has increased by more than 5% since the date on which the contract was entered into; and/or if the increase, without taking into account any increase in the provincial sales tax or Canada's goods and services tax, raising taxes, royalties or reauthorized charges by a competent public authority, is equal to or greater than 7% of the price of services, you may choose between a full and immediate reimbursement of the services or the provision of similar services.

Most alterations will be minor and of little effect on your overall arrangements. We will do our best to notify you of any such minor changes before your departure (Or as soon as possible if you have already departed), we will have no other liability to you.

【Warm Tips】

The extra cost of schedule delay caused by Air Flight cancellation will be undertaken by guests themselves. The missed itineraries will not be re-arranged. During the tour, it will be considered as surrendering application automatically if you do not attend the pre-arranged tour or check in the prearranged hotel. All the extra cost will be undertaken by client voluntarily. UTO vacation reserves the right to abandon any clients if such clients violate the law or damage the interest for tour groups. If clients apply for a visa through UTO vacation visa service center, once the visa is denied 90/150 days prior to departure date without any responsibilities on our end, we will return all pre-paid tour fare to clients except for the deposit and visa application fee.

If such case occurs within 90/150 days before departure date, we will return a portion or none of the pre-paid tour fare according to the cancellation penalty policy. If a child, 18 years old or younger, is traveling abroad with only one parent/guardian, children MUST carry a notarized consent letter signed by non-accompanying parent/guardian. If a child, 18 years old or younger is traveling alone, children must carry a notarized consent letter signed by both parents/guardian. Such consent letter may be requested by immigration authorities when entering into or leaving from a foreign country or by Canadian officials when re-entering into Canada. Failure of presenting such document may result in rejection of boarding aircraft or vessel for the children concerned. Any cruise line reserve the right to cancel, modify or substitute any scheduled port of calls at any time and for any reason whatsoever without prior notice due to the navigation authority and water conditions and UTO vacation shall not be liable for any loss to guests by reason of such cancellation or substitution.
