Overview
West Kyoto is all about nature and serenity. It’s where you’ll find the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, peaceful river views, and monkey-filled hills. Visit Tenryuji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or take a boat ride along the Hozugawa River. In autumn, the area’s mountains are covered in red and gold leaves, making it one of the best spots in Kyoto for fall colors.
