[2024 Kyoto Attraction] Travel Guide for Arashiyama (Updated Dec)

Another must-visit check-in spot in Kyoto is the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. This tourist attraction is unique and has a long history. The highlight is the towering bamboo forest lining both sides of the path, creating a long walkway for tourists to stroll through. Just a bit further, you'll come across Arashiyama Park. The atmosphere here is pleasant and visually appealing. The area preserves its ancient charm, and you can even take a rickshaw ride to enjoy the bamboo forest.

During Japan’s maple leaf season, Hokkaido is the first to start turning red! If you want to see Japanese early maple leaves in advance, you can start from Hokkaido! 🤔 It is recommended that friends who go to Hokkaido for the first time can use the surrounding area of ​​Sapporo as a gathering point, such as the Hokkaido autumn classic IP Biei Aoike, the maple viewing holy place Hosuikyo Dam and Jozankei Futami Park, the red leaves of Lake Toya, and other places. The Otaru Canal famous for "Love Letter"... - ✈️Hokkaido itinerary reference: D1: New Chitose International Airport-Lake Toya-Water Fireworks D2: Lake Toya - Showa Shinzan Bear Ranch - Mount Usu Volcano D3: Lake Toya-Otaru-Retro Rickshaw-Jozankei Hot Spring D4: Jozankei - Momiji Ropeway - Lake Sapporo - Suspension Bridge - Kappabuchi D5: Sapporo-Odori Park, Hokkaido Shrine, Tanukikoji Commercial Street, etc. D6: Return - The maple leaf season in the Kansai region is generally from November to mid-December. First of all, Arashiyama in Kyoto has mountains, lakes and canyons, and red and yellow leaves are all over the mountains. Just think about it and get perfect marks! And the red leaves on the Sagano Train are really painting-like~ (⚠️The No. 5 internet-famous glass car offers a 360° panoramic view of the gorgeous autumn scenery of the mountains). In the Arashiyama area of ​​Kyoto, in addition to taking the train, rafting on the Hozu River is also a good way to chase maples. - ✈️Kansai itinerary reference D1: Kansai Airport-Kyoto City Tour-Kobe Beef Cuisine D2: Arashiyama Sightseeing Train-Thousand-year-old Temple Tea Ceremony-King Cuisine D3: Mount Fuji Shita Kawaguchiko-Fuji Mountain View Private Hot Spring Hotel D4: Hakone-Lake Ashi-Tokyo-Imperial Palace and Niju Bridge-Thundermon Gate D5: Tokyo city tour-choose to visit various theme parks D6: Return

After visiting Kiyomizu-dera during the off-peak season, I took a break at the highly popular Yun Cha nearby. They say that if you don't have matcha in Kyoto, you might as well not have come. This matcha cloud cake is all over Instagram. It's as fluffy as a cloud ☁️ and as smooth as ice cream. The other matcha tiramisu 🍰 is a perfect blend of the slight bitterness of matcha and the milky aroma of tiramisu. It's soft and fluffy, and a spoonful of it is a mouthful of happiness! Matcha lovers will definitely fall in love with it! 🍵 I also ordered the recommended ice cream yuzu soda 🍧. It's refreshing and not greasy, and it's the perfect match for matcha desserts! 📍Yun Cha Cafe (Arashiyama branch)

Arashiyama, located on the outskirts of Kyoto, is one of Japan's most famous tourist destinations. This scenic area, where mountains and waters meet, is not only beautiful but also rich in classical charm. Strolling along the paths of Arashiyama, you are surrounded by lush greenery and swaying bamboo groves, creating a scene as enchanting as a landscape painting. The towering bamboo forest in the distance produces a pleasant 'rustling' sound in the breeze, offering a sense of tranquility. Being amidst the vast bamboo grove gives you a feeling of traveling through time, as if you were in ancient Kyoto. In addition to its poetic natural scenery, Arashiyama is home to many ancient temple buildings, such as Tenryu-ji Temple, adding a strong cultural atmosphere. Visiting Arashiyama is a refreshing experience, making you feel as if you've stepped into an extraordinary 'Kyoto Wonderland.'

Arashiyama is located about 30 minutes from the center of Kyoto. With its mountains and rivers, it’s often regarded as one of the most beautiful places to see the scenery in Kyoto. Save this guide for your next visit! 📍 Togetsukyo Bridge over the Katsura River ～ this has been an iconic landmark of Arashiyama for over 400 years. Offering incredible views of Katsura River, Arashiyama Mountain and the cherry blossoms and maples leaves when the seasons change. 📍 Arashiyama Bamboo Forest ～ the bamboo grove itself is quite small and often crowded. Arrive early in the morning to take photos with no one else around! 📍 Walk along the Oi River ～ another name for the incredible Katsura river. The water is so blue, it is a breathtaking sight. Head upstream for about 10 minutes and you’ll soon be away from the crowds and find some secret spots with beautiful scenery. #mytravelhacks #cherryblossom2024 #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #kyoto #kyototrip #japan #japantrip #arashiyama #summerdestinations

Save this guide for your next trip to Kyoto in Japan! 📍 Arashiyama Bamboo Forest ~ take the metro 30 minutes to the West of Kyoto to Arashiyama. Arrive early to avoid the crowds in this peaceful forest. 📍 Kiyomizu-dera ~ potentially the most iconic shrine and temple in the city. With vibrant vermilion buildings and a beautiful view of the city, this shrine and the surrounding area is usually very busy. 📍 Nishiki Market ~ a long path that runs through the city, perfect for a rainy day. Here you can find freshly caught fish, bustling local restaurants and many souvenir shops. 📍 Engine Ramen ~ maybe I'm biased, but this is the best ramen I've ever eaten in my life. I went here more than 10 times during my stay in Kyoto and I think about it every day since I left. 📍 To-ji ~ this shrine has a tall wooden pagoda and can be seen from the paths nearby. Just a short walk down the hill from Kiyomizu-dera, be sure to take many photos of this incredible piece of history! #japan #japantrip #kyoto #kyototrip #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #summerdestinations

Spring for cherry blossoms🌸, autumn for maple leaves🍁, and summer is definitely for hydrangeas! Travelers in Kyoto and Osaka can choose to visit Sanzen-in Temple for flower viewing! Then take a stroll through the bamboo grove path, Tenryu-ji Temple, and Togetsukyo Bridge in Arashiyama, and breathe in the fresh air😌 It's 100 times more interesting than staying in the city area! To cover these two major attractions in one day, it might be difficult to come up with a convenient transportation strategy🥲 Poor planning can lead to unnecessary detours!! If there are no Japanese speakers among your companions, it's better to stick together (after all, making travel plans is really hard😭) . You can choose to depart from the Osaka city area or Kyoto city area, which makes the itinerary easier to arrange! (It's not necessary to be in Kyoto to go hhh)💰345+ for a full day of fun, 🈶️Chinese leader, super friendly to those who don't speak Japanese! In short, you don't need to worry about anything, just follow along and enjoy! ——— 🗺️Itinerary 09:50 Depart from Kyoto city area Take the bus from Kyoto Station Hachijo Exit to Sanzen-in Temple! You can even take a short nap💤 on the bus without worrying about missing your stop! If you're departing from Osaka, you need to board the bus one hour earlier at the Nihonbashi Station Exit 2 (08:40) . 10:30 Sanzen-in Temple Sanzen-in Temple is the most attractive place in Kyoto for me🤩 Few people, beautiful scenery, and the full view of green is really healing! Soaking in this natural oxygen bar is truly refreshing😌 In addition, there are thousands of hydrangea bushes at Sanzen-in Temple, and they are in full bloom now🥰 Especially beautiful (The Hydrangea Festival at Sanzen-in Temple is from June 9 to July 7) . 13:30 Arashiyama Arashiyama is a historic resort with lush greenery in summer that's truly beyond picturesque📷! The bamboo grove path, Nonomiya Shrine, Tenryu-ji Temple, the shopping street, and Togetsukyo Bridge are all must-visit spots! The one thing you can't miss in Arashiyama is the Sagano Scenic Railway🚂 Those who want to experience it can buy tickets on their own! . 16:50 Return to Kyoto city area You can only get off the bus where you boarded! (⚠️You cannot board in Kyoto and get off in Osaka)

Kyoto's Arashiyama is truly picturesque no matter where you take photos. It was my first time experiencing the small train in Arashiyama, and it felt amazing. It's a pity that I didn't go during the cherry blossom season or when the maple leaves turn red, as it would have been even more beautiful. Despite the crowds when I visited, the most rewarding part was the breathtaking scenery that I could take in, making it an unforgettable memory.

This restaurant in Arashiyama is the ideal spot for lunch! They offer a seasonal Japanese hotpot menu set, and you have the option to enjoy either a garden or river view while dining. 🍱🍚🍜 
💵 Price: ¥4,000

Unlike the delicate pinks of spring or the dazzling array of colors in autumn, Kyoto in the summer is a realm of cool, pure green. The many ancient temples and shrines hidden amidst the verdure are perfect spots for enjoying the cool breeze and scenic beauty. Among them, I particularly recommend the following route: 👉🏻Sanzen-in Temple — Kifune Shrine — Arashiyama ⭕Compared to the crowded Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Gion, the famous spots in Kyoto, Sanzen-in Temple and Kifune Shrine can be considered hidden gems. Although these two places have become more well-known in the past two years, the number of visitors is still not high due to the relatively inconvenient transportation. ⭕As one of the renowned temples in the northern area of Kyoto, Sanzen-in Temple not only boasts magnificent and exquisite ancient architecture, but its gardens, Seiryu-en and Jyuboku-en, are also a feast for the eyes, casting a spell that calms the soul. The tall, verdant maple trees complement the bright green moss, creating a lush ink painting scene, and in May and June, you can also see the hydrangeas in full bloom. Additionally, the famous red bridge stands out even more against the surrounding greenery, making for an excellent photo opportunity. ⭕Not far from Sanzen-in Temple is Kifune Shrine, which also has a long history. The red lanterns lining the stone steps leave a lasting impression, as if guiding the way to the realm of the gods. The shrine venerates the deities of rain and water sources, and visitors can draw omikuji fortune slips here. Interestingly, the fortunes only become visible when placed in the shrine's fountain. ⭕The summer in Arashiyama brings a more natural atmosphere than the Kyoto city center. The greenery on both sides of the Hozu River blooms like massive clouds, and away from the crowds, numerous ancient temples and shrines are nestled within, offering a tranquil path worth exploring at leisure. ⭕Due to the inconvenient transportation (long distances and the need for transfers), joining a day tour group is actually a better choice. ⭕In conclusion, whether you're traveling alone or with friends and family, this treasure of a day trip route is definitely something you should experience!

I just visited Arashiyama in Kyoto, and this place is truly an astonishing tourist destination! Arashiyama is famous not only for its natural beauty that changes with the seasons but also for its many historical buildings filled with Japanese charm. As one of Japan's major tourist destinations, Arashiyama has become increasingly popular with visitors in recent years. The natural environment here is extremely rich, with the Oi River and the Arashiyama mountain range, as well as many famous spots for viewing autumn leaves and cherry blossoms. Whether it's the cherry blossoms in spring or the colorful autumn leaves, both are truly refreshing to the spirit. In addition, Arashiyama has many historically valuable buildings and attractions, such as the Togetsukyo Bridge, Tenryu-ji Temple, the Sagano Bamboo Forest Path, the Nison-in Temple on Ogurayama, and the Iwatayama Monkey Park. These spots not only allow visitors to feel the unique cultural atmosphere of Japan but also to enjoy the beautiful natural scenery.

🍁Tourists in Kyoto's Arashiyama are always in an endless stream, but few people go north from Arashiyama to visit deeper temples. Here hides a quiet and healing scenery, which is a place where you can find peace in the bustling Arashiyama. The most adorable temple recognized by the Japanese, 🍁Kyoto's 【Atago Nenbutsu-ji Temple】 🌟There are 1200 Arhats in the temple, some with their hands on their cheeks, some praying with their hands together, some wearing hats, some wearing pearl necklaces, and even one standing upside down, full of cuteness. 😢A bit indifferent, a bit joyful, a bit sad, it seems to hide the "various states of life in Kyoto" here. 🌟The name of a different sculptor is engraved behind each Arhat, which is contributed by many amateur sculptors under the guidance of a famous Japanese sculptor🐺. 📍Transportation 👉Address: 2-5 Sagatoriimoto Fukatani-cho, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto City 👉Business hours: 8:00〜16:30 👉Ticket: JP300/adult ⚠Free for elementary/middle school students 1⃣Kyoto Bus🚌Direction of Kiyotaki🧭 62 | 72 | 92 | 94 Get off at 【Atagoji-mae】 2⃣ Take a taxi🚖 at JR Saga-Arashiyama Station North Exit JP1000↔about five minutes 3⃣ Walk for about 1 hour at JR Saga-Arashiyama Station 📍The easiest downhill route for Arashiyama sightseeing 👉Atago Nenbutsu-ji Temple → Saganocho Preservation Area → Bamboo Forest → Togetsukyo Bridge → Arashiyama

🎋 This is another iconic attraction in Kyoto. Arashiyama Bamboo Grove is very popular with tourists. If you want to avoid crowd, it’s best to come here around 6:30am. The walk through the Bamboo Grove is quick, around 5 minutes. I will recommend to do the hike and explore the nearby temples and shrines. You can also make your way to the rail track or down the river where you can get stunning picturesque scenery. #wheretogo

We had a great day in Arashiyama. It was a very hot day but the beauty of the countryside made it worth while. We also visited the Monkey Park which my children loved. Being able to feed the monkeys was a good experience. Also the view from Monkey Park was spectacular. Booked a really good Kyoto beef restaurant. The beef was amazing. I think we ordered everything that was on the menu.

Nice monkey park, steep climb uphill about 20 mins from the entrance to get to the top. Worth the climb as the views are great and the monkeys were entertaining. Always hungry and loves to be fed. Quite harmless and will not attack or come close as long as you don’t maintain eye contact. Has a small playground for kids as well and a toilet up on top and a cooling room after the long climb. #arashiyama

Famous for the bamboo forest, Arashiyama is also full of other interesting activities and places. Tenryu-ji is a UNESCO world heritage site that you will pass by on the way to the bamboo forest. Kumo no cha is a cute little cafe serving cloud-like cakes and yummy drinks in little baskets! There is also a cute Rilakkuma store that sells Arashiyama exclusive goods and you can also get adorable Rilakkuma treats there! #tripblazers #awesomepic

Arashiyama Getting There - train from kyoto to saga-arashiyama station After visiting the bamboo groove, you will walk past a beautiful park. So stop for cherry blossom if it is spring. Then you should see Katsure River and the famous Togetsu-kyo Bridge. If you want, please queue for Arabica coffee outlet with the best view in the world. We would have queued if the queue wasnt that long. Cross the bridge for restaurants, hotel and monkey park. We saw many couples taking bridal shots near the bridge. Thats how nice the views are! #mustvisit #kyoto #japan

#2023travelwish located at Kyoto Japan, take the JR San-in or Sagano lines to Saga-Arashiyama Station. one of the Kyoto finest park, Arashiyama park. it’s located near the famous bamboo forest but it’s so much more. my first time seeing autumn leaves in real life. wishing to see the next full bloom when I visit. falling leaves have an alluding charm. it’s very beautiful. you can take a boat ride near the river, drop by a tofu restaurant which sells excellent food (reservation needed) take a slow stroll from park to the bamboo groves. beauty is everywhere as long as you look hard enough, but in this case you don’t even need to try hard. #followchelto #kyoto #japan #autumn

#2023travelwish This is Arashiyama situated in Kyoto Prefecture, Kansai region. The JR nearest station is JR Saga-Arashiyama, 18 minutes away from Kyoto station~ Fully covered by JR pass! This is where the most famous bamboo forest is~ There are many small shops and restaurants around to explore. Also, there many cute statues scattered around the area for you to find! It is also a great place for Sakura viewing 🌸 My wish is to find more hanami places 😍

Arashiyama is a place worth to visit, a walk in the forest gives a unique feeling. And during a hot day, the forest provides shade. There are beautiful temples and temple gardens close to the forest, e.g., Tenryuji temple. Pictures taken in the forest cannot quite describe how beautiful it is from the inside and all the sounds you hear in the forest. The city itself is also nice to walk around. A bit later in fall the colors must be amazing. There are lots of small shops and restaurants to spend several hours in. The rickshaw rides also seemed to be popular, especially by young Japanese couples. Donot forget the other attractions in Arashiyama while you are there.

This bamboo forest area is about a 20-minute walk from Arashiyama Station. There are a lot of people as soon as you enter, making it difficult to take photos, so if you want to take photos, I recommend climbing the hill and going further in! As for the autumn leaves, if you head upstream along the Katsura River, you can see beautiful scenery, so be sure to take a walk there. #autumntrip #autumnleaves
