• Sagano Romantic Train
  
  Sagano Romantic Train is a must-go attraction in Arashiyama. It takes about 25
  minutes to slowly move 7.3 km one way. Originally, the track was used by small
  freight cars for transporting luggage, so it runs through places where
  ordinary trains cannot enter. You can enjoy cherry blossoms in spring, fresh
  greenery in summer, yellow leaves in autumn, and dry fields and snowscapes in
  winter. You can feel Kyoto in every season with this tour.

  
  

• Hozugawa River Ride
  
  The river, which was once crossed by rafts to transport goods, has now become
  a world-famous tourist boat route with beautiful canyon scenery. The thrilling
  boat ride, where you can fully enjoy the nature of Kyoto, starts from
  "Kameoka" in Tamba. The Hozugawa-river (Katsura River) meanders through
  Yamasa. Along the way, you will descend about 16 km to Arashiyama, a scenic
  spot in Kyoto, while seeing the 2-meter-high Koayu Falls and the 400-year-old
  Sao no Ato. Please enjoy the natural scenery of the four seasons, such as the
  surrounding trees and strangely shaped rocks.

  
  

• Arashiyama Bamboo Grove
  
  Arashiyama is located in the Saga area in the western part of Kyoto City. The
  retro Togetsukyo Bridge over the Katsura River that flows through this land is
  widely known as a landmark of Arashiyama. Both banks of the river are dotted
  with large and small shrines and temples, and the scenic scenery of the bamboo
  grove is full of Kyoto-like atmosphere. There are also souvenir shops and
  traditional tofu restaurants nearby. Let's enjoy a leisurely stroll in
  Arashiyama, which shows different expressions in each season.
