The Experience
Spend the morning in Arashiyama, where traditional beauty meets tranquil nature.
From Kyoto Station, you will take the train with your guide and in just 15 minutes you will arrive at Saga-Arashiyama Station, and then go directly to the whimsical Kimono Forest. Here, you'll be enchanted by hundreds of vibrant kimono patterns illuminating the paths, creating a unique and picturesque setting. Next, we'll visit Yusai-tei, a hidden gem offering a serene escape and stunning views, perfect for quiet contemplation.
Then, immerse yourself in Arashiyama's iconic landscapes: you will stroll across the historic Togetsukyo Bridge, offering breathtaking river views, before venturing into Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, where towering bamboo stalks create an otherworldly atmosphere. Your journey continues to Tenryu-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its exquisite gardens and profound history.
A highlight of your day will be a delightful lunch served right inside Tenryu-ji Temple, offering a unique and authentic cultural experience amidst its peaceful surroundings.
Afterward, you'll explore and have a cup of tea at the magnificent Okochi Sanso Villa, the former home of a famous film actor. This sprawling estate boasts meticulously maintained gardens, traditional teahouses, and incredible panoramic views of Arashiyama.
At the end, you can decide to go back to Kyoto Station with the guide, or stay a little longer in Arashiyama.
