Temple districts, bamboo groves and Kyoto beyond the city
Explore the shrine and temple districts of Kyoto City, walk through Arashiyama’s bamboo groves, or travel farther toward Miyama and Amanohashidate. These destinations are not all close to central Kyoto; choose between a city-based visit and a longer trip into the wider prefecture.
