- Here are my Top 7 Things to do in Arashiyama, Japan. This is also my travel guide for Arashiyama in Kyoto, Japan! Arashiyama is a neighborhood in northwester Kyoto and has so many amazing activities including hikes, parks, food, temples, bamboo, onsens, and MUCH more!
Kakuda Kouseien (角田香勢園) is my favorite hidden gem in the area that serves fresh milled matcha by the kindest shop owner. There is a lot of street food around the area that you can buy, the Tenryu-ji temple, the bamboo forest, Station Center, Togetsu-kyo Bridge, a Monkey Park, and a foot bath all in the same area!

Great video! Thanks for the information. I'll be visiting in October and definitely stopping by that matcha shop!
Thanks so much, I hope you have a great trip!
Thank you for useful information. Will be happy to use this during a tour today of Kyoto
No problem, I hope you enjoy your time in Kyoto!
Thank you. I just can't wait to visit Kyoto!
No problem, I'm sure you'll have a great trip!
Spot on video! I just got back from Arashiyama and enjoyed most of these sites. I will try the tea merchant next time we return.
That's wonderful, glad you enjoyed these places as well. Definitely recommend the tea merchant though!
Great video. I'd recommend adding Hosugawa River Cruise on the way back from Arashiyama mountain top.
Thank you, that is a really good suggestion!
That tea shop is fantastic!
Agreed! It was such a gem
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽🤗
Well,,, recommended 👍🏾🤩
Glad you enjoyed it
Wonderful share... A must visit places! Thanks...
They really are must visit places in Kyoto, thanks for watching!
Great list! We're ready to burn off calories. Especially after having mochi and all of the potatoes. Some things are crowded for a reason. But good to know when the best time to visit an area are!
thanks for sharing, cheers from Poland
Thanks for watching! Cheers from the USA
Thanks a lot for this video. I am visiting Japan soon and kinda overlooked Arashiyama. Thought I'd be there for just a quick 1 hour tour from Kyoto to see the bamboo forest and head back to my hostel immediately. Looks like I gotta allocate a few more hours to the Arashiyama itinerary. That Zen Temple looks sublime!
No problem, and yes I would recommend spending a half day to an entire full day here. The zen temple was wonderful, I think there is even more to explore that we missed at the temple and Arashiyama in general
@@WanderlustWellman Awesome!
Very very good 👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much!
You missed one of the most wonderful stuff at Arashiyama that is "Hozugawa River boat ride". And also Sagano Romantic train ride. Train ride is suggested only for autumn or spring.
This is where Hirai Momo grew up. Wow!
Interesting, I've never heard of her before but good to know!
Let’s go back
I recommend Torokko Train and Hozugawa Boat Ride.
Great recommendations!
Hi! Great video. Going to Kyoto at the end of October and would love to go to that tea shop. Where is it located please?
Thanks, glad you liked the video. The matcha shops location is actually in the video at 0:48. Have a great trip!
What do you think about the Arashimaya Sagano Scenic Train? Some others are recommending it.
From my own research, I think it looks like a really worthwhile experience! I’ve never done it before, but the views are supposed to be really scenic (as expected from the name), especially when you can see fall foliage or the cherry blossoms. It also would be a nice change of pace for people who want to do other activities besides temples and shrines!
Thanks for sharing this video ☺️ can seniors aged 60 plus can withstand the walking from Togetsukyo to the Bamboo forest?
No problem, thanks for watching! The walk from the bridge to the Togetsukyo Bridge to the Bamboo Forest is 10 minutes or less and is very flat. They also have rickshaws going down these streets so you could always take one if walking is too much
Great! Thanks a lot ☺️
Hi there, how long does it take to get up to the monkeys from togetsukyo bridge? Wondering if we can fit in to our busy schedule
Good question! It depends on your hiking/walking speed, but I would generally say 20-35 minutes
Hello Great Video!!!! do you know if they allow tattoos on the Foot Bath Onsen?
Yes, you should be totally fine with tattoos here. Thanks, glad you liked the video!
My extra favorite,... shopping at London Books ... my first time seeing the complete Japanese language collection of Dostoevsky (^_^)
Someone else recommended that place too, thanks for commenting about it! Sounds like a great place
@@WanderlustWellman it's a really tiny used bookstore (not English language friendly) but lots of old interesting stuff. I have an unhealthy emotional attachment to the bookbag I bought there.
I'm going to Kyoto in a few days and would like to know where to buy tickets for the temple visits and other attractions?
You can buy any ticket for a temple and attraction right at the entrance luckily!
Great!Thanks!
My sisters and I are traveling with our 89-year-old dad to Kyoto next month. How much time do you think we will need to walk and push my dad in his wheelchair if we want to visit all the places you recommended, minus the monkey park?
That's wonderful! I think you can do everything here in a solid day of exploring no problem. If you arrive in the morning, you would probably finish before the evening. Because the monkey park is not quite as wheelchair friendly, I recommend that you explore a little bit more around Arashiyama as you please. Thanks for checking out the video!
i wonder what time of year were you guys actually there? thanks
October/November 2022!
Where do you recommend to stay in arashiyama with onsen? Thanks
I've never stayed in a hotel anywhere in Arashiyama, let alone one with an onsen so I'm sorry but I can't really give you a recommendation :( I'm sure there are many good options though, but I'm also sure a lot of them are a bit pricey!
Where was the ichigo daifuku located?
It was at a food stand located right around here!
嵯峨野竹路庵

How do i go to the matcha tea
Go here on google maps!
Japan, 〒616-8384 Kyoto, Ukyo Ward, Sagatenryuji Tsukurimichicho, 16 角田香勢園
Do the monkeys like to steal items? Speaking from a previous experience elsewhere lol
Haha from my own experience as well, they are much better behaved and don’t steal things
kimono forest...3 minutes of view...and stop....
dont buy matcha
Why not?
Humans can't stop talking for 30 mins makes the bamboo forest not worth seeing.
