Construit sur la rivière Katsura, ce pont de 155 mètres de long est l'une des images emblématiques d'Arashiyama. C'est un endroit idéal pour admirer le paysage environnant et les montagnes Arashiyama en toile de fond.
Ce temple a une longue histoire et est l’un des temples zen les plus célèbres de tout Kyoto. Connu comme site du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, il possède un magnifique jardin où les plantes et les fleurs créent une atmosphère différente à chaque saison.
Denjiro Okochi, célèbre acteur du cinéma samouraï, a passé environ 30 ans à construire ce vaste jardin de villa, qui couvre une superficie de 19 800 mètres carrés. Le jardin est entouré de fleurs de cerisier au printemps et de feuilles d'automne en automne, et offre une beauté à chaque saison. La vue sur la rivière Hozu qui coule en contrebas et sur la ville de Kyoto est également un point fort.
Situé sur le flanc du mont Ogura, célèbre pour son feuillage d'automne depuis la fin de la période Heian (794-1185), le temple Jōjakkoji compte environ 200 vieux érables, qui deviennent rouges, oranges et jaunes et se combinent avec le vert du mousse.
Un temple tranquille entouré de magnifiques paysages qui ont survécu au passage de 1200 ans. Le temple est célèbre pour son feuillage d'automne. Le temple est appelé « Nison-in » car il abrite les deux principales images de Bouddha. Les deux images principales ont des visages et des figures comme des jumeaux, avec leurs mains gauche et droite levées et abaissées symétriquement. Le temple est situé à une courte distance du centre d'Arashiyama, vous pourrez donc profiter d'un moment de tranquillité.
Ce temple est connu comme le ""temple de l'amour tragique"". C'était le temple où une danseuse favorisée par les pouvoirs de l'époque perdit sa faveur et passa du temps comme nonne après un cœur brisé. Le sol du temple est couvert de magnifiques bambous verts et d'érables verts, avec une mousse- jardin couvert. La fenêtre de l'antichambre de l'ermitage vaut également le détour. Il reflète une variété de couleurs selon la manière dont la lumière pénètre dans la pièce.
Cette zone est un lieu de sépulture depuis l'Antiquité, d'abord avec un enterrement par le vent, mais plus tard avec un enterrement dans la terre, où les gens consacraient un Bouddha en pierre et pleuraient la séparation éternelle des morts. Les quelque 8 000 bouddhas et stupas en pierre enchâssés dans le parc sont les tombes de personnes enterrées dans la région.
L'origine de ce temple remonte au 8ème siècle, mais le temple est devenu inhabité pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et a été abandonné après qu'un typhon en 1950 ait causé d'importants dégâts aux terrains du temple, aux salles et aux statues bouddhistes. Il a ensuite été reconstruit en 1955 lorsque le sculpteur bouddhiste Nishimura. Kimitomo (1915-2003) fut nommé abbé et la reconstruction du temple le plus délabré de Kyoto commença. Le temple est connu comme un « temple de guérison », où les visiteurs peuvent se détendre et se sentir à l'aise grâce à l'alignement expressif de 1 200 statues d'arhats sculptées par des fidèles ordinaires.
Toriimoto est une zone de conservation située à l'extrémité de Sagano, à environ 600 mètres le long de l'autoroute Atago menant au sanctuaire d'Atago. La zone comprend un mélange de bâtiments de style ferme avec des toits de chaume et de bâtiments de style machiya à deux étages et aux toits de tuiles. et présente un caractère bien préservé d'un paysage historique rural japonais.
Si vous êtes amoureux des animaux, pourquoi ne pas venir ici ? Environ 120 macaques japonais vivent actuellement à l'état sauvage dans ce parc aux singes. Le parc est plein de nature et les singes peuvent être vus toute l'année.
C'est l'une des plus grandes attractions de tout Kyoto, avec des milliers de grands bambous dominant la région qui forment une magnifique forêt. C'est un endroit incroyable qui vous donne l'impression d'être dans un conte de fées.

I hope that everyone is lucky enough to get Takashi Okanuma as their tour guide. He was so friendly, informative, funny and told the best stories! He also makes sure everyone has a great time. We were really tired from the days before, and Takashi went out of his way to make sure we were doing the right activities. He even stayed a little longer than our time, because he wanted us to see the parade! He also takes pictures from his own phone, and will send it to you right after the tour. He’s an amazing photographer and knows all the right spots! Takashi really goes above and beyond, and made our day trip to Kyoto very memorable!
Yoshiko, our guide, met us at our hotel for our private morning tour exploring the historic Saga-Toriimoto neighborhood of Arashiyama. As our taxi headed towards our destination, surprise, surprise, the driver informed Yoshiko of the sudden closure that day (all Wednesdays thereafter) of our first stop – Otagi Nenbutsu-ji. Not a problem, a quick pivot, and Yoshiko led us to the hillside site of Adashino Nembutsu ji, a Buddhist memorial ground of 8000 ancient stone grave markers. We followed a bamboo path rising behind the 13-tier pagoda temple — a stunning, contemplative stretch that was blissfully removed from the crowds of the main Arashiyama grove. From there, Yoshiko led us to the tranquil Giōji Temple, guiding us through its serene moss garden while sharing the tragic but tender love story about a spurned dancer who found refuge and became a nun. Our unhurried walk continued down the road with quaint shops interspersed with charming old homes with private gardens arriving at a small local restaurant where we enjoyed a quiet lunch with set meals that were both delicious and beautifully presented. Yoshiko’s English was excellent, making everything feel effortless and engaging, and she sprinkled the day with stories from her own time living abroad, including heart-warming anecdotes about her family. Those personal touches made the entire experience feel even more special and connected. We’re so grateful for the time we spent with her. If you’re visiting Kyoto and want a guide who is kind, fluent in English, culturally insightful, and genuinely invested in your experience, we highly recommend Yoshiko from Arigato Travel.

An amazing place... such a shame that mass tourism has taken over. Visited in mid afternoon but still rammed. Reports of peoples initials being carved in to the bamboo! Would suggest visiting in early morning or late afternoon, when tour groups have diminished. A lot of tourist tat shops and the start of the forest walk is a 15 minute hike from the car and coach parks.
We sincerely value your candid feedback regarding your recent visit. It is truly wonderful to learn you found the location to be an exceptional setting. We certainly understand your observations concerning the substantial impact of large visitor numbers. We recognize that experiencing the area amidst significant crowds and the commercial elements can indeed detract from the tranquility many seek. Your recommendation to explore during quieter times, such as early morning or late afternoon, is genuinely insightful for those desiring a more peaceful atmosphere. We are deeply grateful for you sharing your comprehensive perspective, which is invaluable for our ongoing efforts to understand visitor experiences. We hope you will consider discovering other serene aspects of Japan on future journeys.

Our tour guide Mika was great. She created a route based on what we wanted to see and had great recommendations. It was our first time in Kyoto and we only had a day, so this was a good way to see a lot of stuff without having to do all the planning ourselves. Mika was knowledgeable about Kyoto’s history and attractions, sharing interesting facts along the way. There’s so much to see in Kyoto!
We appreciate you sharing your thoughts on your tour in Kyoto! It's fantastic to hear that Mika was a great guide and that she created a route tailored to your interests. We're happy it helped you experience a lot in Kyoto even though you only had one day. It sounds like Mika's knowledge of Kyoto's history and attractions really enhanced your experience. We're also glad she provided great recommendations. We will make sure Mika receives your kind words. Thank you again for your review, and we hope you have the opportunity to explore more of Kyoto in the future!
