Updated: November 1, 2026 | 龍行国際観光株式会社 (Ryuko Japan Transfer) If you have already visited Kyoto's classic temples, consider the eastern side of Lake Biwa in autumn. Shiga offers historic temple gardens, stone steps and bamboo groves.

Updated: November 1, 2026 | 龍行国際観光株式会社 (Ryuko Japan Transfer) After a day of autumn foliage sightseeing, an evening at Kyoto Station can extend the experience. Recent additions to the station building's evening attractions include Hikari no Waemaki — Shiki no Kyo-yato at the 7th-floor East Square , which pairs well with the Grand Staircase lights, station architecture and dinner. It makes a short walk for your arrival day or the end of a sightseeing day. The autumn leaves here are light art, rather than a natural maple grove.

Learn MoreAfter checking out of your hotel in Kyoto, you can request an intercity private car service that takes you first to Uji and Nara before dropping you off at your hotel in Osaka. Compared to first transporting your luggage to Osaka and then traveling back and forth to the attractions, this option reduces the need to move your luggage. To determine whether this is suitable for your day’s itinerary, you’ll need to confirm the starting and ending hotels, the number of passengers, the amount of luggage, the duration of service, and the service availability.
