A Wonderful hiking experience - The Kyoto Arashiyama hiking tour was a fantastic way to explore the area’s natural beauty while enjoying an active experience. The route took us through the iconic Bamboo Forest, offering a tranquil and atmospheric walk surrounded by towering bamboo stalks. We also visited Adashino Nembutsuji, which added a serene and historical touch with its thousands of stone statues creating a reflective atmosphere. The tour guide was exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. He provided fascinating insights into the area’s history and culture while ensuring everyone felt comfortable throughout the hike. It was a perfect choice for anyone who loves nature and history!
