Kyoto: Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, Monkey Park & Temple Tour

Meet with your guide at Tully's Coffee.

Begin your journey with a visit to Tenryu-ji, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Kyoto's most revered Zen temples. Stroll through its stunning gardens, where seasonal colors reflect beautifully in the temple's central pond.

Next, immerse yourself in the ethereal beauty of the famous bamboo forest. Towering stalks sway gently overhead as you walk along the serene path, a truly otherworldly experience.

Step into history at Nonomiya Shrine, a charming Shinto shrine once associated with ancient purification rituals. Surrounded by mossy woods, it's a peaceful spot rich in cultural significance.

This elegant wooden bridge, known as the “Moon Crossing Bridge,” offers stunning views of the river and surrounding mountains. A beloved symbol of Arashiyama, perfect for a scenic stroll and photos.

A short hike up to Monkey Park Iwatayama. Here, you'll meet a lively troop of wild Japanese macaques and take in panoramic views of Kyoto from the mountaintop.
