Overview

Savoring the Ancient Capital: A Perfect Encounter with Sanzen-in's Moss Garden and Arashiyama's Elegance Want to escape the crowds and carefully experience Kyoto's ancient charm and natural beauty? This in-depth one-day tour will take you to two classic spots - Sanzen-in and Arashiyama, immersing you in a day of beauty between tranquility and elegance. 🧭 Itinerary Highlights: ✨ Sanzen-in (approx. 120-minute stay) Hidden in the mountain retreats of Kyoto Ohara, Sanzen-in is a Tendai sect temple with a thousand-year history. The garden is picturesque in all seasons, with moss carpets and cute Jizo statues reminiscent of a fairy-tale world. Stroll through the serene surroundings, feel the Zen spirit, or write a prayer on an ema (votive tablet) to express your best wishes. ✨ Arashiyama (approx. 180-minute stay) From the Bamboo Forest Path to Togetsukyo Bridge, from traditional Japanese shops to ancient tea houses, this is one of Kyoto's most iconic scenic spots. You are free to choose: ・Feel the breeze in the bamboo forest ・Experience the old-fashioned charm by rickshaw ・Savor traditional matcha and wagashi (Japanese sweets) ・Sit quietly by the Katsura River and feel the changing seasons of Kyoto Arashiyama has a wealth of attractions, and considering the limited time, we recommend the following itinerary (all costs are at your own expense, and we suggest you choose one to experience in depth): If you want to travel through the mountains and forests to enjoy the scenery, you can take the Sagano Scenic Railway [Recommended train schedule: Sagano (15:02) - Kameoka Station (15:25), travel time approx. 20 minutes Return trip: Kameoka Station (15:30) - Sagano (15:56), travel time approx. 20 minutes]; if you prefer tranquility, you may wish to stroll through the Sagano Bamboo Forest Path; if you want to relax, Arashiyama Station Foot Spa is a good choice.
