Join us for a walking tour of Arashiyama, a traditional district of Kyoto!

We begin with a hike to the summit of Mount Iwatayama. The monkeys are friendly, and we can even feed them!

We cross the Togetsu-kyo Bridge to reach the historic Saga-Arashiyama district, where we’ll take a break for lunch.

After our break, we visit the Zen Buddhist temple Tenryu-ji (14th century). The highlight of the day is a stroll through the world-famous Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. Afterward, we walk along the Katsura River—a breath of fresh air.

We wrap up the tour with a leisurely walk back to the station, taking with us a head full of unforgettable memories.

By the end of the day, you’ll have learned more about Japanese history and feasted your eyes on the lush nature and magnificent old town. Will you join us? We look forward to seeing you!
