Descrizione
Explore a quieter side of Arashiyama with a local guide. Walk from Togetsukyo Bridge through historic Saga to Adashino Nenbutsuji, with optional Japanese gold art.
Meet your local guide near Togetsukyo Bridge and leave the busiest part of Arashiyama behind as you walk toward the quieter streets of Saga. Follow a scenic route with traditional buildings, gentle slopes, seasonal views, and small photo stops along the way. Visit Adashino Nenbutsuji, a temple connected to this area's long history as one of Kyoto's ancient burial grounds. Learn how stone Buddhist statues and memorial towers that had become scattered or buried in the surrounding hills were gathered and enshrined at Sai-no-Kawara to honor people whose graves no longer had anyone to care for them. Walk respectfully through the atmospheric temple grounds and enjoy moss-covered stone scenery, a peaceful bamboo path, and seasonal colors. Autumn brings changing maple leaves, while other seasons offer fresh greenery and quiet garden views. Your guide can help take photos in permitted areas; photography is restricted in some sacred sections, so please follow temple signs and instructions. Goshuin stamps and goshuin books may be available for separate purchase. Temple admission is not included. Depending on venue availability, you may also join an optional Japanese kinsai gold art experience after the walk. The gold art experience, materials, and venue fee are paid separately and are not included in the tour price.
