Explore the bamboo grove and reach the top of Arashiyama park

Take your time to enjoy the private Okochi Sanso garden, sit and take a deep breath, with a beverage served in a former tea house turned into a rest area.

Explore one of the most famous temples in the city, indoors and outdoors, and admire the Koi fish in the pond. Enjoy nature around you and learn more about the place you are visiting.

OPTION A Stop at every single shop you want to discover that amazing shopping street in Arashiyama, and ask your guide to assist you with anything.

OPTION A Besides the bamboo grove, this is probably the second most popular spot for a picture with the Katsura river, and the Majestic view of this iconic bridge.

OPTION A After the tour ends, and leaving your guide with happy memories full of bamboo and wonderful stories, hike up the hill and explore the monkey park. That place is especially thrilling for families and kids.

OPTION B Leave the tourists behind you, and go back to the train station with your guide to Kameoka, an area located on the other side of the mountain. After arriving at Kameoka, take a well-deserved rest with a local lunch (budget not included, around ¥1,500).

OPTION B Our journey culminates at the prestigious Tanzan Sake Brewery, renowned for its craftsmanship and dedication to traditional brewing methods. Here, you will learn about the delicate process of sake production — from rice polishing and fermentation to maturation. Please note: some sections of the brewery may not be accessible depending on the brewing season and production schedule. This ensures both quality control and safety during active brewing periods. The experience concludes with a guided sake tasting, where you will savor different varieties and discover the subtle aromas, textures, and flavors that make premium Japanese sake so distinctive. Non-alcohol alternative possible, but limited to one or two types of drinks.
