- Attractions Introduction -


  • Chishaku-in Temple

As the head temple of the Chizan school of Shingon Buddhism, it owns about
3,000 branch temples across the country, including major temples such as
Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, Kawasaki Daishi Heikenji Temple, and Takaosan
Yakuoin Temple.


  • During Japan's Heian Period, Arashiyama was a hub for the residences of imperial nobility, and many relics of that era still remain. For example, the iconic Togetsukyo Bridge, believed to have been built in the early Heian period, is a landmark of Arashiyama. Shrines and temples of all sizes evoke a sense of antiquity, while the bamboo groves lining the path shade the sky. A monument commemorating Zhou Enlai's poem, "Arashiyama in the Rain," sits quietly in a corner of the mountain. Arashiyama is particularly beautiful when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and the maple leaves are turning red.


  • Tsutenkaku Bridge (Tōfuku-ji Temple) is a covered bridge connecting the Buddha Hall to Jōraku-an Temple within the Tofuku-ji School of the Rinzai sect, one of Kyoto's Five Mountains. Beneath the bridge, in the area surrounding the Washiyu Stream, stands a vibrant sea of ​​three-leaf maples dating back to the Song Dynasty. The view from Tsutenkaku resembles a blazing sea of ​​fire, making it a unique autumn viewing spot in Kyoto. Every autumn, the area is bustling with visitors seeking to admire the crimson leaves. This tour includes a 90-minute stop here, giving you ample time to fully appreciate the stunning autumn foliage of Tofuku-ji Temple.


  • The following 4 types of shopping coupons for sightseeing in the Arashiyama area are included:


  • Kyoto Arashiyama Music Box Museum admission coupon (valid only during business hours)


  • Rickshaw and houseboat ride coupons


  • Footbath Hot Spring Coupon
