Itinéraire
Arashiyama Monkey Park Iwatayama est une attraction unique située dans le quartier pittoresque d'Arashiyama à Kyoto. Perché au sommet du mont Iwatayama, le parc abrite plus de 100 macaques sauvages japonais (singes des neiges) qui errent librement, offrant aux visiteurs une chance de les observer dans leur habitat naturel.
Le temple Tenryu, est un temple bouddhiste zen historique situé à Arashiyama, un quartier pittoresque à la périphérie ouest de Kyoto, au Japon. C'est l'un des temples les plus importants de Kyoto et un site du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, faisant partie des "Monuments historiques de l'ancienne Kyoto."
La forêt de bambous d'Arashiyama, également appelée Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, est une forêt naturelle de bambous située dans le district d'Arashiyama à Kyoto au Japon, près du temple Tenryū-ji. Pourquoi il est célèbre: C'est l'un des endroits les plus emblématiques et photogéniques du Japon, avec de hautes tiges de bambou qui se balancent créant une atmosphère surréaliste, presque d'un autre monde. Marcher dans la forêt est une expérience calme et paisible, surtout tôt le matin ou pendant les heures creuses. Le bruit du vent qui bruisse dans le bambou est si unique qu'il a été classé parmi les « 100 paysages sonores du Japon » par le ministère japonais de l'Environnement.

Our guide Akihiro was great. We were a group of 5 for this tour, ranging in age from 8-57years. We wanted to see the monkeys in Arashiyama and the bamboo forest so that dictated our choice of tours. Akihiro met us at our air B&B and guided us smoothly on trains to Arashiyama. There we went first to see the monkeys. Be forewarned, it is a pretty steep climb, with many switchbacks. Our guide was wearing long pants and a button down shirt! I have no idea how he kept a smile on his face, but he did!! At the top, we saw the monkeys (including two mothers with small babies who were nursing) and we went inside a small building from which you could feed the monkeys (picture humans inside a hut & monkeys free outside, but they come to the screened windows for snacks). There is also a good view of Kyoto from the top of the mountain. You walk down the same path that you followed up, and from there we went to see the Tenryu-ji Temple (a UNESCO world heritage site & Buddhist temple). The buildings of the temple are interesting and the garden is lovely. Akihiro made the temple visit accessible to the kids in our family (remember to bring socks if you aren’t wearing them!). The last part of our tour was the bamboo forest. Each of the sites is not far from the other so we walked from the monkeys to the temple to the forest. It was very hot when we did the tour, but we knew it would be. July in Japan is hot. At the end of the tour we stopped to have a snack and then Akihiro guided us back to the train station as we were heading to Osaka that afternoon. If I were to do it again, I might skip the monkeys, but I know my husband, son and nephew loved seeing them. To me, it was a LOT of uphill walking for a brief stop (and we can see similar monkeys at our zoo at home). However, that is not Viator or the tour company’s fault - that’s the challenge of picking activities in a place when you have limited time and want to find things for everyone. One of my favorite things on the tour was when we stopped to look at the river and Akihiro told us about the history of the area. It is a beautiful section/area of Kyoto.

Jun did a fantastic job personalizing the tour to our interests. Since it was raining and I injured my knee he adjusted the tour to spend more time in the Tenryu-ji Temple with fewer stairs. Jun explained a lot of the background history of zen buddhism in Japan and its influence from China. The gardens were beautiful and a highlight of our trip. It was very busy in Arashiyama but Jun found a very nice, quiet restaurant for lunch and treated us to the local microbrewery beer as well. Thank you Jun!
Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We’re so glad to hear that Jun was able to adjust the tour to your needs and make your visit both comfortable and memorable, even in the rain. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the history, the beautiful gardens of Tenryu-ji, and the local lunch spot. We're always happy to hear that our guests had a meaningful experience. Thank you again for joining the tour! Best wishes, Manami
