Scene of western Kyoto centered around the Katsura River and surrounding mountains, Arashiyama is a must go popular tourist destination for visitors to Kyoto. Any given day you’re likely to see people in kimono or yukata enjoying local food, shopping, and pilgrimages to the local temples. Rickshaw drivers wait to carry you to your destination, whether it be the natural beauty of the bamboo forest or the man-made temples that have stood in Arashiyama for hundreds of years. Easily accessible and full of temples, traditional buildings, and food options, this is an ideal place to spend a day or half day. It is a popular area that does become crowded, however, so be sure to plan a trip itinerary that works with your travel style.
