What to expect
Sanzen-in Temple is one of the three temples of the Tendai Sect. You can see sakura in April, rhododendron in May, hydrangea in July, and maple leaves in autumn. The natural scenery is pleasing to the eye throughout the year. The Arashiyama area is made up of Arashiyama and Sagano. You can take the Sagano Romantic Train to enjoy the natural scenery that changes with the seasons. There are also many ancient temples and shrines in the Arashiyama area. The Arashiyama Bamboo Grove is where Ang Lee filmed “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” and the Tenryu-ji Temple in the trail has a wonderful view of the Japanese garden. The footbath of Arashiyama Station is at the Hannari Hokkori Square. It is a Japanese-style footbath which is modeled after JR Yufuin Station in Kyushu.
Reviews
booked this for the train ride. but it was not clear to me why we were not able to take it.
Leo was so helpful, spoke perfect English; and even went out of his way to check on tickets for the sagano train since we forgot to book.
Etta was amazing! we really enjoyed her comments and joy. She was very upbeat and helpful. The trip was a highlight of being in Kyoto.
It was a very pleasant day trip. The tour guide Lily gave a very detailed introduction and communicated very attentively.
The lady tour guide 郑璐is very helpful and professional. Will book the tour next time!
The whole trip was smooth, there was no extra consumption recommendation, and the departure and return were on time. Thanks to the tour guide Xiao Li (Li Zeyao) 😃
Xiao Li: He is handsome and enthusiastic, attentive and patient. He will notify you instantly and also send you the location of the meeting map.
The tour leader notified the meeting time and location via telephone the night before, and the itinerary guide was almost just a pick-up and drop-off! Less experience
I live in Kyoto, but when I checked the activities, I found that the Arashiyama train from Kyoto was no longer available. I found out that the itinerary from Osaka was included in the train, so I signed up. However, when I got on the train, I was informed that the train was not included, but I didn’t take a screenshot at the time. , and when I looked again, it was not there, and there was nothing I could do about it by contacting customer service. So I participated in this activity and just took a car to Arashiyama before leaving the group, so the price/performance ratio was not very good.
Chen, our tour guide, was very helpful and provided detailed introductions to the attractions. Thank you!
