Kyoto Guided Tour of Bamboo Forest, Temple and more

About this activity

Everyone who comes to Kyoto must visit this cool and fantastic bamboo forest to take pictures.

It is said to have been a vacation home for aristocrats in the Heian period (794-1185). On sunny days, the sun shining through the trees is pleasant, and on sunless days, it is dim even during the daytime.

Tenryu-ji, a Zen temple, is a quieter place to visit than other temples, allowing you to calmly enjoy the lovely gardens and decorations of the temple grounds.

Also, this temple is recognized as a World Heritage Site. This is an important experience that will add color to your trip, as you will be able to see up close the garden, a nationally designated historic site and special place of scenic beauty.

Enjoy the area's history, shopping, and photo opportunities at various locations to color your day unforgettable.
