Itinerary
The walking paths that cut through the bamboo groves make for a nice walk. Particularly attractive when there is a light wind and the tall bamboo stalks sway gently back and forth.
Founded in 1339 at the beginning of the Muromachi Period (1338-1573), the temple is one of Kyoto's UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In addition to its temple buildings, there are attractive gardens with full of foliage.
"Moon Crossing Bridge" is Arashiyama's landmark, originally built during the Heian Period (794-1185). Worth watching the combination with the colorful forest in the background.

Both our guide, Shun Okazaki, and our driver, Mr. Morita were incredible. Shun planned an itinerary that included everything we asked for, stayed with us, assisted and encouraged us in the long climb to the monkey park, led us through the temple gardens and the bamboo forest. The tour was seamless and throughout, Shun shared the history of what we were seeing, as well as Kyoto’s history. He is an all around terrific guide. And our driver, Mr. Morita accomplished miracles maneuvering on very narrow streets that were crowded with people and other vehicles. Best of all, he didn’t scare us as he did it.
We had a wonderful tour of Kyoto. Rumiko-San is the best guide! She picked us up right from the platform of our train, in front of our door. She thinks of everything to make us feel comfortable and truly happy. Rumiko-San is knowledgeable, helpful. She took us to places and sites in Kyoto , customized for us. We had so much fun. Thank you Rumiko-San and our terrific driver. They made such a great team!
Our guide was amazing and we really enjoyed the trip. We had a 6 years old a teenagers we us. He was very sweet to our little girl and friendly.
<p>Great tour! Got to see a beautiful part of Kyoto the Arashiyama area that might have otherwise been overlooked. I went during Golden week so it was a bit crowded, however I could still appreciate the serenity and peacefulness of the area. It is amazing that some people have such impeccable views as their backyard</p>
