Our Favourites

Morning · Arashiyama Walk along the bamboo forest path and listen to the thousand-year-old whispers of the wind blowing through Sagano. Under the Togetsukyo Bridge, the green waves are rippling, and the wooden temples and red maples are intertwined. Take the Sagano train to shuttle through the Hozu Gorge and feel the beauty of the dynasty described in "The Tale of Genji" Afternoon · Sanzenin Hide in the "Moss Temple Secret Realm" at the foot of Mount Hiei, where the moss is spread like a carpet and the childish Jizo smiles beside the hydrangea. Have a cup of tea at Jubi Garden and watch the light and shadow cast on the national treasure Buddha statue in Gokurakuin. Time quietly stops here Twilight · Kifune Shrine When the lanterns are lit one by one, the approach to the temple turns into a vermilion tunnel leading to another world. The water fortune-telling sticks sway on the riverbed, and you can savor the summer limited water noodles or the winter hot pot around the stove. The night maple and snow-viewing lanterns at Kifune Shrine push the romance of Kyoto to the extreme.
