This tour begins by crossing a bridge that symbolises Arashiyama.

The first stop is Tenryu-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Here, you can experience the art of Japanese gardens and the spirit of Zen, which have been carefully preserved for over 700 years.

After passing through the temple's serene gardens, we arrive at one of Kyoto’s most enchanting sights—the Bamboo Grove. As you walk through this mystical landscape, your guide will explain why this breathtaking bamboo forest is also part of the UNESCO World Heritage designation. You’ll feel the harmony between nature and culture come to life.

This walking tour also includes visits to the guide’s recommended traditional tea houses and souvenir shops. Enjoy Kyoto’s famous matcha sweets, savour delicate wagashi (Japanese confections), and browse beautifully crafted bamboo-themed artisan goods—a perfect way to complete your Arashiyama experience.
