Savour the simple splendour of walking through a bamboo forest, the sound of branches swishing in the wind, a zen garden visit with local matcha tea, and a hike up Monkey Mountain to meet wild monkeys. And the best part of all, this can all be done in just half a day with our Amazing Arashiyama tour. And if you stick around until the end of the tour, we will give you tips on the best restaurants and hot springs in the area so you can reward yourself for an active day.

We visit the world renowned Saga-Arashiyama bamboo grove, the incredible and delightful Okochi Sanso Villa where we can drink matcha tea, then after a stroll through the park we reach the Monkey Mountain, where after a short hike (about 30-40mins) we will be face to face with wild monkeys all while taking in sweeping views of the city.
Move comfortably between the most beautiful parts of Arashiyama. Going to the most beautiful places on earth means you won't be the only one there, but with a knowledgeable guide, they can take you on the most pleasant route that not only lets you relax and truly enjoy the moment, but also gives you chances to get great photos away from the crowds.

Listen to the stories that make each place come to life. Without the right context, it is more difficult to give one's full appreciation for another culture.

All of our guides are top rated long term residents of Kyoto who are super keen on showing you an amazing day in Arashiyama.
Small is beautiful. We never have more than eight people on each tour, because we don't use flags, mics or busses. No long bathroom breaks or annoyed glances from locals for us as we nimbly move from place to place.
