What you can expect

Immerse yourself in the scenic beauty and historic landmarks of Arashiyama on this afternoon outing to one of Kyoto's most breathtaking districts. Walk through a magical bamboo forest, wander the gardens of a 14th-century temple, and catch glimpses of colorful koi from the Togetsukyo Bridge.

Meet your guide at Kyoto Station and hop on the JR line to Saga Arashiyama. Set off on foot to reach Tenryuji Temple, the largest Zen monastery in western Japan. Admire the mountain-framed 14th-century temple and roam around the lovely ponds and gardens that fill the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Next, make your way into the stunning Sagano Bamboo Forest, traversing a surreal footpath in the dappled sunlight that streams through sky-high curtains of bamboo. Soak up the serenity of this mystical, 330-foot (100-m) trail and snap photos with the towering canes as your backdrop.

After experiencing the peaceful beauty of Arashiyama, take Sagano romantic train from Arashiyama station to Kameoka station. During this 20-minute journey, you can enjoy the scenic view of the forested hillside and the Hozukyo Ravine before you get back on the JR to return to your starting point.
