What to expect

The bamboo forest might be the main reason to visit Arashiyama, but with a host, you can see (and do) so much more. Rent a boat in the pristine lower Hozu-gawa area, row down the river between lush green mountains, or hike up mountains to see the cityscape from a scenic lookout point.

Explore Tenryū-ji Temple and its unchanged garden from centuries ago and exit into the seemingly endless, emerald-glowing Bamboo Grove, winding dreamily uphill. You could walk across the glittering Katsura River and spy excited macaques at the Arashiyama Monkey Park, or you could wander between Zen temples, breathing in the fragrant air, and celebrate the spirit of ancient Japan with a traditional kaiseki meal.

Review for: Private Walking Tour (Adult 5-8 People, Child Age 0-12)

Exceeded expectations. Georgina tailored the tour to my interests, provided entry into all attractions and we managed to fit it the main attractions and little things I wanted to do and see. Lits of information and a rich tour of the traditional side of Japan. Highly recommended!
