Itinerary

Kyoto Station Building

Meet up with your host at Kyoto station. You can also be picked up directly at your hotel (if in central location)

Arashiyama

Ethereal bamboo forests, hidden temples and perfectly preserved Saga-Toriimoto Street. IMPORTANT: As this is a private and personalised experience, the places you visit may differ from those listed and these will be chosen by your host based on your interests and preferences

Bamboo Forest Street

The bamboo forest might be the main reason to visit Arashiyama, but with a host, you can see (and do) so much more. Explore Tenryū-ji Temple and its garden that stands unchanged from centuries ago, and exit into the seemingly endless, emerald-glowing Bamboo Grove, winding dreamily uphill.
