An exclusive
district on the outskirts of Kyoto, Arashiyama offers
you a multiplicity of options. In the center of
the area are the magnificent Tenryu-ji temple, shops,
cafes and restaurants. In the north of the central
area, there are bamboo groves and a residential
district with several small temples scattered along
the base of the wooded mountains. |

An active
option would be to take a two-hour boat tour down
the Hozu River, flowing through an idyllic, forested
valley before reaching urban Kyoto at the Togetsukyo
Bridge, hailed as "Moon Crossing Bridge."
If you explore further afield to Mt. Arashiyama,
you will be welcomed by more than 170 monkeys at
the Iwatayama Monkey Park on the slopes of the mountain. |
