For more than 1,000 years, Kyoto served as Japan’s capital, and today remains one of the country’s spiritual and cultural centers. Famous for its ancient architecture — including many Buddhist and Shinto temples and shrines — the Honshu city itself has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. Spring blossoms and autumn foliage make for gorgeous seasonal scenery, while the city is a year-round showcase for exquisite Japanese cuisine.

Coastal Miyazu, in northern Kyoto Prefecture, is home to Amanohashidate, a 2-mile (3-kilometer) long sandbar covered in pine trees, making a natural bridge. It has been designated as one of the Three Views of Japan as well as one of the Places of Scenic Beauty of Japan. Various modes of transportation can be used to traverse this land bridge, including bicycle, motorboat and foot. To get the best views, tourists venture to the observation deck at Kasamatsu Park by cable car. Nearby mountainside Nariai-ji Temple, a popular stop for Buddhist pilgrimages, houses a centuries-old sculpture dedicated to the goddess of mercy.

On top of other exciting excursions, Platinum Members will be treated to an exclusive, per-person rickshaw ride while at Arashiyama on Day 3. Sit back and enjoy the scenery, from mountains and lakes to bamboo groves and shrines. It’s more fun than walking, and you’ll get to see a lot more of the area.

Life is great when you’re a Platinum Member!

By booking this DreamTrip I understand that the hotel may request a credit card upon check-in. The hotel may request the credit card in order to: a) place a monetary hold of US$50-200; or b) hold for incidental, security or other charges. By booking, I acknowledge having received notice of this potential charge and accept that Rovia™ recommends a credit card rather than a debit or bank card be used in the event the hotel requests the card. I understand that any such request made by the hotel is outside of the control of Rovia and is strictly a hotel policy. Should I have questions concerning the hotel’s policy, I accept responsibility for contacting the hotel independent of Rovia.

Please contact Travel Support if you have special requests regarding bedding, meals or medical needs, or any other questions about this trip.

It’s important to double check that you have all the identification and other documentation required by the specific country you’re traveling to. In many countries, passports and visas must be valid for 6 months or longer after the trip end date. If you are unable to obtain the required identification and other documentation, the Cancellation Policy for this DreamTrip will apply.

Make sure that you request a name change or room change at least 31 or more days before the 1st day of your trip.

Each individual, including each child, who is coming along with you on your DreamTrip is required to have a booking prior to the commencement of the trip. If you do not book and pay for each such person in advance of the trip, you will be charged the hotel’s then-current rate, not the trip price, for each such person at the time of your check-in.

Pricing for children is based on their age at the time of travel and may be subject to additional terms and conditions of individual hotels and all-inclusive resorts. Also, pricing for children can vary, and may be higher than pricing for adults. Therefore, before you book any travel, please check the relevant hotel or resort website for applicable terms and conditions as well as details regarding their pricing structure.

Pricing shown is for each person, and is based on 2 adults per room.
