Be sure to look for the famous sculptures, such as the “Three Wise Monkeys” (See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil) and the “Sleeping Cat,” which is said to bring good fortune. Your guide will also show you the best spots for taking photos.

After lunch, we will visit Kegon Falls, one of Japan’s three most famous waterfalls. With a breathtaking drop of 97 meters, its sheer power is truly mesmerizing. Take the elevator down to the observation platform for an up-close view of the roaring basin.
