Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Arashiyama is home to the world-famous Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, and the site is one of the most critical districts in Kyoto. The city is found at the base of the Arashiyama Mountains and about 30 minutes from the center of Kyoto.

The Main Street and Togetsu-Kyo Bridge are top-rated tourist attractions with a lot of foot traffic. Visitors can walk up the river for peace and quiet at Kameyama-Koen Park. The Tenryu-Ji Temple and Bamboo Grove are just a little past the park. The Arashiyama Bamboo Grove Walking Tour is the best way to see the sites. Okochi-Sanso Villa is why Arashiyama is the second most important site in Kyoto.

The Imperial property is beautifully preserved, and no reservations are needed to visit. Visitors should also consider renting a boat and exploring the waters when cherry blossoms are in bloom.
