Overview of your Kyoto tour:

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.
