Is admission included at every stop?

Only Kinkaku-ji admission is part of the price. The other stops are free-time or walking visits, so any temple or museum you decide to enter, such as Todai-ji, is paid separately.

Can I start in Osaka and get off in Kyoto?

Yes. The operator lets you choose your departure and arrival point in either city, so you can board in Osaka and leave the bus at the Kyoto VIP Lounge, which suits a day when you are moving between the two.

Where do I eat on a standard plan?

Standard plans do not include lunch. The 120 minutes of free time in Arashiyama is the longest break of the day and the easiest window to find a meal.

What is there to see in Arashiyama?

The area around Togetsukyo Bridge is dotted with historic temples and shrines. Tenryu-ji, a World Heritage temple, has a strolling garden that was the first in Japan named a Special Historic Site and Special Place of Scenic Beauty.
