      Activity itinerary

      Arashiyama Bamboo Forest
      • 30m
      • Admission ticket included
      One of Kyoto’s most iconic sights, this beautiful bamboo forest offers a serene walk through towering green stalks. Unlike most visitors, we drive to a less crowded area deeper in the grove, so you won’t need to walk far—and there’s a high chance to take photos without other people in the background. Your guide will lead you to the best photo spots.
      Otagi Nenbutsu-ji Temple
      • 40m
      • Admission ticket not included
      A unique and charming temple filled with over 1,000 expressive stone statues. Many visitors enjoy finding one that resembles themselves. This hidden gem is gaining popularity as one of Arashiyama’s most delightful surprises.
      Kuzu Shrine
      • 30m
      A mystical shrine tucked deep in the forest, far from the tourist path. Its main hall, a Registered Tangible Cultural Property, sits quietly among the trees. Locals revere it as a true spiritual power spot, where the air itself feels sacred.
      Keihokushuzancho
      • 30m
      Only accessible by car, this sacred site lies deep in the mountains, far beyond Kyoto’s urban edge. Known as “Kyoto’s last untouched sacred place,” it’s not even fully marked on maps. A moss-covered stone path and a torii gate rise quietly from a peaceful mountain village. The atmosphere feels as if you’ve stepped into another world. With over 1,000 years of history, it is truly Kyoto’s ultimate hidden gem.
