Kyoto Arashiyama Bamboo Walk & Relaxing Flower Foot Bath Massage
We keep groups small, with a maximum of 10 guests, so you enjoy a truly premium experience. Your route avoids crowds and follows quiet, insider paths that bring you closer to real local life and the beauty of nature. Also you'll be guided by someone who actually lives here — not a script reader —
📍Meeting point: Your guide will be waiting for you in front of the matcha shop, holding a red “WonderlandJapan” flag and greeting you with a warm smile before we begin our walk through the poetic streets of Arashiyama.
