Located in the western outskirts of Kyoto, Arashiyama is famed for its beautiful scenery and well-preserved ancient royal court. Enter the former villa of late actor Okochi Denjiro, the Okochi Sanso Villa – take a stroll through the traditional Japanese garden rumored to be built by Denjiro as a picture of everlasting beauty (not the deteriorating beauty captured on film). Explore one of Kyoto's great Zen temples, the Tenryuji Temple – built in 1339 by the shogun Ashikaga Takauji in honor of the late Emperor Godaigo, with a number of vantage points offering the best views of Arashiyama. Complete your journey at iconic Togetsukyo Bridge, the 'Moon Crossing Bridge', known for beautiful reflections in the Oi River.
