Osaka

Nara - Koyasan
Early morning brings a 45-minute train ride from Osaka to Nara where you'll wander through the peaceful park and see the temples dotting the landscape. What makes Nara special is how the deer roam freely alongside visitors. After exploring, you'll head back to grab your bags, then spend 90 minutes (train, cable cars, and a bus involved) heading deep into the mountains to reach Koyasan. You'll stay at a working temple and spend the evening checking out the temples and shrines scattered around town. Dinner is a special vegetarian spread prepared by the monks using their own ingredients.
