- Introduction to attractions -
- Arashiyama Arashiyama is located in the Saga area in the west of Kyoto City. In the hinterland surrounded by mountains, the Katsura River flows. The Togetsukyo Bridge, the symbol of Arashiyama, hangs on the Katsura River. There are large and small temples and shrines scattered on both ends of the bridge. The large and small shrines and temples in the mountains are antique, and the nomiya bamboos on both sides of the bamboo forest block the sky and the sun. Whether it is spring when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, summer when the greenery is abundant, autumn when the maples are everywhere, or winter when the sky is clear and blue, no matter how the seasons change, the appearance of Arashiyama remains the same beautiful and pleasant.
- Tenryuji Temple Tenryuji Temple is the most prominent temple in the Arashiyama area and is famous for its beautiful gardens. For those who participate in this itinerary, you can visit the Tenryuji Gardens on your own while taking a free walk in Arashiyama. The admission ticket is included in your bus fare.
- Kinkakuji Temple Kinkakuji Temple is synonymous with "Kyoto" in people's minds. Under the warm sunshine, the three-story pavilion covered with gold foil shines brightly. The small golden phoenix on the roof also looks like it is about to fly. The golden pavilion and the blue sky are reflected in the mirror lake in front of the temple, as bright as a postcard. , fascinating.
- Fushimi Inari Shrine, the filming location for the movie "Memoirs of a Geisha", is famous for its red corridor with thousands of vermilion torii gates stacked on top of each other - the Senbon Torii Gate. Legend has it that the God of Agriculture guards here to protect the local people's harvest, business prosperity, traffic safety, etc., and the fox is regarded as his messenger. The fox has been a sacred animal since ancient times, and it is used to hunt insects and birds in the fields so that grain can be cultivated.
