Good to know

  • Walk the Arashiyama bamboo grove early in the morning. By mid-morning it is packed.
  • Ryoan-ji's dry rock garden is best enjoyed sitting quietly on the veranda. Come early, before tour groups arrive.
  • The Sagano Romantic Train runs through the Hozu Gorge to Kameoka. It doesn't run in winter, so check dates and book ahead.
