Arashiyama locates right between the Ukyo and Sakyo wards of Kyoto, and is a popular sightseeing district in Kyoto. Togetsukyo Bridge, that connects the Ukyo and Sakyo wards, is known for the beautiful views during cherry blossom and fall foliage seasons. The bamboo grove in Arashiyama is also a must-see, and there, you can walk through a 400-meter long path surrounded by bamboos. You can also ride the Arashiyama Trolley and take a slow ride throughout the scenic area.
