Best Arashiyama Tours in Summer

Arashiyama is best known for the iconic Bamboo Grove, where visitors can stroll along towering bamboo paths, and the Togetsukyo Bridge spanning the Katsura River, offering picturesque views of the mountains and seasonal foliage. Arashiyama also features several important temples, including Tenryu-ji, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with beautifully landscaped gardens. In spring, cherry blossoms transform the riverbanks into a colorful panorama, while autumn brings vibrant maple leaves. Visitors can enjoy boat rides, hiking trails, and local specialty foods such as yudofu (tofu hot pot) at riverside restaurants.
