-
Kiyomizu-dera TempleA UNESCO World Heritage site known for its grand wooden stage that offers panoramic views over Kyoto. Take in the seasonal beauty of cherry blossoms in spring or vibrant maple leaves in autumn as you wander through the temple grounds.
-
Arashiyama Bamboo Forest[★ Arashiyamai Course ★ ] Step into a world of tranquility as you stroll through this iconic bamboo forest, where tall, green stalks stretch high into the sky. The sunlight filters through the dense bamboo canopy, creating shifting patterns of light and shadow on the path. The quiet rustle of leaves and the subtle creaking of the bamboo in the wind create a calming soundscape that feels far removed from the city. It’s not just a walk—it’s an experience that feels otherworldly.
-
Nonomiya Shrine[★ Arashiyamai Course ★ ] Tucked within the forest near the bamboo grove, Nonomiya Shrine is a small but spiritually significant Shinto shrine with a history dating back over a thousand years. It was once used as a purification site for imperial princesses before they entered service at Ise Grand Shrine. The shrine is surrounded by ancient moss-covered trees, low wooden fences, and sacred stones believed to bring good fortune, especially in love and relationships. Its peaceful, tucked-away location makes it a quiet spiritual retreat.
-
Togetsukyo Bridge[★ Arashiyamai Course ★ ] Spanning the Katsura River, Togetsukyo Bridge ("Moon Crossing Bridge") is one of Arashiyama’s most famous landmarks. Originally built in the Heian period and later reconstructed in wood, the bridge offers panoramic views of the surrounding hillsides, which explode into color in autumn. From the bridge, you can see boats gently floating down the river and possibly even spot monkeys from the nearby Iwatayama Monkey Park. Whether viewed from afar or walked across slowly, the bridge is a perfect photo spot.
