Arashiyama
嵐山（あらしやま）は、京都市西部にある標高382メートル（m）の山。また、大堰川（おおいがわ）を挟んで西側の松尾山・嵐山・烏ヶ岳の嵐山三山と、東側の小倉山・亀山、さらにはその麓を含んだ地域を一般的に嵐山と称し、山麓は多数の寺社が立地する観光名所でもある。 近くには嵯峨嵐山駅があり、この辺り一体が嵯峨野と呼ばれる事も多い。 また、近くのトロッコ嵐山駅からは嵯峨野トロッコが出ており、保津峡などを眺めながら、乗る事ができる。
What it is
Arashiyama is a district on the western edge of Kyoto, spread along the Ōi River with the wooded slopes of Mount Arashiyama behind it. Most visitors come for the bamboo grove — a path through tall, densely planted bamboo that filters the light overhead — and for the river itself, where you can walk the Togetsukyo Bridge or take a short boat ride. The area combines natural scenery with temples and gardens, and it's designated as a place of scenic beauty rather than built around a single monument.
Getting there
From central Kyoto, Arashiyama is reachable by train in about 20-25 minutes, either on the JR Sagano Line from Kyoto Station or the Randen (Keifuku) tram line from Shijo-Omiya. Both drop you within walking distance of the bamboo grove and river.
How much time to allow
Walking the bamboo grove itself takes only 10-15 minutes, but most people spend half a day in the area once temples, the riverside, and a stop for food or a boat ride are factored in.
When to go
The bamboo path gets crowded quickly once tour groups arrive, so early morning is noticeably quieter. Autumn foliage and spring cherry blossoms draw the largest crowds; if you're avoiding crowds, weekday mornings outside those seasons are easier going.
Combine it with
- Tenryū-ji Temple (1km) sits right at the entrance to the bamboo grove and is the easiest temple to pair with a walk through it.
- Saihō-ji Temple (2.5km) is a further walk or short ride, known for its moss garden.
- Katsura Imperial Villa and Ninna-ji Temple (both around 4.9km) are better treated as separate stops if you have extra time, since they're a bit far to combine on foot.
