Review & FAQ:
Arashiyama is a small scenic town best known for its long wooden bridge that crosses the Katsura River. It lies in the hills west of Kyoto and is easily accessible by train. Other popular attractions in Arashiyama include the Tenryu-ji temple and the renowned Bamboo Grove, one of the most photographed places in Japan. In addition to Tenryu-ji, there are many other well-known historical temples like Saihoji Temple, a favorite of Apple founder, Steve Jobs. The best time to visit Arashiyama is in the fall when the leaves are a vibrant mix of green, gold, and red.
