What you will see in Nara, Arashiyama and Fushimi Inari

At Nara Park, you will have time to walk around, take photographs and see the free-roaming deer. The stop is intended as an introduction and does not include an extended visit to Nara's other temples.

Arashiyama is the longest stop and provides time to see several of its main attractions, from the bamboo grove to Togetsukyo Bridge. At Fushimi Inari, the scheduled visit covers the lower part of the shrine rather than an extended climb up Mount Inari.
