Okochi Sanso offers sweeping views, beautiful gardens, delicious green tea and a serene break from the crowds of Arashiyama.
Although Kyoto’s botanical greenhouse is spectacular year-round, its tropical gardens are best appreciated during Kyoto’s freezing winter.
Arashiyama Kyoto Monkey Park is a must visit if visit Kyoto with kids. Nice climb to over 150 macaque monkeys that live on the mountain.
