Experience Overview
Like other famous places, most travelers don’t know the real potential of Arashiyama unless someone shows it to them. On this private tour, we are here to make your trip to Arashiyama memorable and help you the best way we can to make every second count. Your journey begins at the Bamboo Grove, where you will explore its paths and discover its secrets. Next, take your time to enjoy the private Okochi Sanso garden, sit, and take a deep breath with an authentic Japanese sweet and a cup of green tea.
Following your tea, you will explore Tenryuji Temple—one of the most famous temples in the city. Here you can admire the Koi fish in the pond, enjoy the nature around you, and learn more about the place you are visiting. Afterwards, visit the Togetsukyo Bridge, which is probably the second most popular spot for a picture (besides the bamboo grove) featuring the Katsura river and the majestic view of this iconic bridge.
For families and kids, the next stop is especially thrilling: a hike up the hill to explore the Arashiyama Monkey Park. Finally, you will discover the amazing shopping street in Arashiyama and explore the beautiful “Kimono Forest.”
