Things to do at Arashiyama

Although the price is much more expensive than taking a bus by yourself, it is suitable for families with elderly children and can visit three attractions in one day. It is recommended👍. It is recommended that you stay in Arashiyama for 30 minutes longer, because the place is big and you need lunch, and the car is parked far away, so 2 hours is not enough.

Near Arashiyama Station, within a 5-minute walk, there is an outdoor pool with beautiful scenery and excellent service. It's great.

We didn't expect we would be having an English-speaking travel guide, Ms. Ellie, she was very warm, accommodating & kind! my family enjoyed her company so much. Also, we were given ample time in Nara Deer Park, Senbon Torii (thousand red gates), and Arashiyama area. There were so many tourists tho, but it was still enjoyable and fun. Not to mention, too many steps too! 😄

The guide is considerate, attentive and caring. Her use of social media is a fantastic way to connect. She provided adequate information. It would be good Arashiyama could be allocated longer time. Inari could be shorter as no one would climb to the top.

This felt rushed as were given only 1 hr and 2 1/2 hrs (Arashiyama) but it was a convenient way to see highlights from Kyoto in a day.

From the moment we set off, our guide kept telling us stories and cultures about the ancient cities, which was really interesting. Nara was quite fun, and the deer in Nara Park were particularly friendly, wandering freely. When we arrived in Kyoto, we were blown away by the countless red torii gates at Fushimi Inari Shrine. It was so spectacular! And the scenery in Arashiyama was breathtakingly beautiful. We had a great time without feeling rushed. In Osaka, the transportation was very convenient, and the entire itinerary was well-organized, allowing us to have a relaxing and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend this trip to friends who want to visit Japan. You won't be disappointed!

Today's trip was fantastic! The tour guide was amazing, giving us lots of information about the attractions and being super friendly, which made us feel very comfortable. The bus we rode in was clean and cozy, making the whole journey relaxing. The deer in Nara were adorable, so cute! The scenery in Arashiyama was breathtakingly beautiful, it was totally worth it! I highly recommend everyone to come and experience this as well, you won't be disappointed!

There are many kinds of hot springs to soak in. It is very comfortable to go to the hot springs after taking the Arashiyama train. I will go there next time!

Arashiyama is a distinct area on its own, and after enjoying the nearby scenery and landmarks, it is truly remarkable to end the day with a visit to this hot spring. The facilities are clean, with more local Japanese visitors than foreign tourists. The outdoor hot spring environment here is very pleasant and comfortable. The hot spring water is a simple hot spring (hypotonic slightly alkaline), so it doesn't have a strong sulfur smell. Although I didn't eat there, they have a restaurant where you can enjoy a meal after soaking in the hot spring, and I've heard that the food is quite delicious.
