Local Kyoto citizens have long loved this spot ever since JR local line with locomotives was obsolete and replaced by the "Sagano Romantic Train" in 1991. With 25 minutes ride on this tram from Saga/Arashiyama station to Kameoka station, you can enjoy scenic canyon views over its beautiful Hozu river with beautiful foliage in each season. Before the ride, we will stroll around historical sites at Sagano area for about 2. 5 hours, covering Tenryuji temple garden ( World Cultural Heritage site ), Bamboo path for your photo chance, view point at the top of Kameyama park, and Togetsukyo bridge with its picturesque shape. The original itinerary of this tour takes about 6. 5 hours for round trip starting at Kyoto station. It can be accommodated subject to your request and schedule, i. e. to visit Monkey park additionally, or instead of Tenryuji temple garden. For your lunch, we will take local cuisine at my favorite restaurants. For your shopping, you can manage it around the bridge or restaurants.
The original plan of this tour is that it starts from 8:30 at your hotel in Kyoto and finish the tour at 14:30 at Kyoto station. Or a later start with a later return is possible too. Following is the itinerary: - Your hotel (at 8:30) - Kyoto station (9:30) - Via JR, JR Saga/Arashiyama (10:00) - Walking to Tenryuji temple garden - Walking Bamboo path uphill for 10 minutes - Walking to Scenic view point at Kameyama park - Walking downhill to Togetsukyo bridge - Short break with light lunch - Walking to the tram station Arashiyama with the arrival before 13:00 - Riding on a tram at 13:10, we get off at Kameyama station at 13:40 - Walking to JR station Umahori for 15 minutes, we take a train for Kyoto with an arrival before 15:30.
