#MarchGoodPlaces2025 In Kyoto, the most memorable attraction must be the Togetsukyo Bridge in Arashiyama. Togetsukyo Bridge is a very famous attraction in Arashiyama, Kyoto. This bridge has a long history. Whether it is the cherry blossoms in spring 🌸 or the red leaves in autumn 🍁, it attracts countless tourists. It also connects Saga Arashiyama and is definitely one of the representative tourist attractions in Kyoto. The purpose of this trip to Togetsukyo Bridge is to experience wearing a kimono 👘 strolling along Togetsukyo Bridge 😍. It was my first time wearing a kimono, and I was a little nervous at first. There are many kimono rental shops on the most prosperous street of Togetsukyo Bridge. The shops are separated by men and women. Each of you chooses the kimono style you like and puts it on. The clerk will help you put it on, and then help you to put your hair up and choose a headdress. (Because I am not very good at it, I asked the clerk to put it on casually. 🙈) When everything is ready, you can gather the men to stroll around the romantic Togetsukyo Bridge. Wearing a kimono, you need to change your usual free and unrestrained steps into ladylike small steps. 🙈, it was a little uncomfortable at first, but walking in small steps allows you to enjoy the scenery for a longer time. Fortunately, there were still beautiful cherry trees when we came 🌸. 🌟🌟 After strolling across the Togetsukyo Bridge, you can also walk to the famous "Arashiyama Bamboo Forest". The bamboo forest is densely packed with towering bamboos, as if out of the real world, making people feel relaxed and happy.💚 Although there were many tourists and it was difficult to take a photo of myself with the bamboo forest, this beautiful scenery remained in my mind and could not be forgotten. If you go to Kyoto, don't miss it to feel the tranquility here, away from the bustling city. (Anyway, I like it very much 💕) 🕰️Opening hours: Togetsukyo Bridge is a public bridge, open 24 hours a day 🚄Transportation: 1- Take the Hankyu Arashiyama Line to Arashiyama Station and walk 10 minutes to Togetsukyo Bridge 🚄Transportation: 2-JR Sagano Line to Saga Arashiyama Station, walk 10 minutes to Togetsukyo Bridge (🌟This is the route I took at Kyoto Station) 🚄Transportation: 3-Keifu Arashiyama Main Line (Arashiden) to Arashiyama Station, get off at Togetsukyo Bridge. 🌟🌟 There is a Sagano sightseeing train next to the Sagano Arashiyama station, you can also choose to take it. (I will introduce the train in the next article 😊) #Kyoto #Arashiyama Togetsukyo Bridge #Arashiyama Bamboo Forest #Japan #Kimono Experience

Visiting Arashiyama is an incredibly fun experience that satisfies your cravings for beautiful scenery, history, and delicious food all at once! First, the Arashiyama Scenic Railway is a must-ride!

Riding this train leisurely through the mountains is the best way to relax. 📍Tenryu-ji Temple: A Perfect Blend of History and Nature After getting off the train, the first stop is Tenryu-ji Temple. The garden in this temple is incredibly beautiful, and the scenery and air make you feel very peaceful. Standing in the garden, you can see the surrounding mountains and lakes, making you feel like you've stepped into a painting. Moreover, Tenryu-ji itself has many historical stories, so if you are interested in Japanese culture and history, this place is worth taking your time to appreciate. 📍Bamboo Grove: Entering a Dreamy Green Tunnel Moving forward, you will reach the famous Bamboo Grove. The bamboo here grows tall and dense, making you feel like you are entering a green tunnel, which is both mysterious and romantic. Just walking inside and listening to the sound of bamboo swaying in the wind will make you feel relaxed, as if time has slowed down. 📍Arashiyama Station (Togetsukyo Bridge): A Paradise for Food Lovers After enjoying these beautiful sights, it's time to replenish your energy! There are many delicious eateries near Arashiyama Station, offering everything from Japanese cuisine to snacks. Among them, the fried tofu skin is highly recommended—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of aroma. One bite and you won't be able to stop! There's also matcha ice cream, which is so rich and delicious! In summary, whether it's riding the scenic train to enjoy the views, walking through the Bamboo Grove to feel nature, finding peace in Tenryu-ji, or enjoying the food near the station, Arashiyama is a perfect place for a day trip!

#FamilyTravel #100TravelWays ### Kyoto Autumn Leaf Viewing Family Travel Guide Every autumn, Kyoto's mountains and gardens are dyed red and golden, making it a great time to enjoy leaf viewing. Bringing children to Kyoto and feeling the charm of autumn in this ancient capital together is a rare parent-child travel experience. Here are some great fall foliage viewing destinations for families. #### 1. Arashiyama Arashiyama is one of the most popular autumn maple viewing spots in Kyoto. When the autumn wind blows, the entire mountain area is covered with gorgeous red leaves, and the scenery is picturesque. If you bring your children here, you can take the Sagano train to enjoy the magnificent maple leaf scenery along the way, or you can stroll on the Togetsukyo Bridge and feel the beautiful scenery of the red leaves and the river around you. The Tenryuji Gardens in Arashiyama are also a great place for parents and children to enjoy the autumn leaves. Children can explore the ancient gardens and discover the mysteries of nature among the colorful autumn leaves. #### 2. Tofuku-ji Temple Tofuku-ji Temple is famous for its spectacular Tsutenkyo Bridge with red leaves. The bridge spans a maple forest. In autumn, the red leaves all over the mountains seem to have laid a red carpet on the bridge. Children can feel the strong atmosphere of autumn here, and they can also look for fallen leaves in the temple gardens to enhance their understanding of seasonal changes. Since the trails in Tofuku-ji Temple are designed to be gentle, it is also very convenient for families with strollers. #### 3. Kiyomizu Temple Kiyomizu Temple is one of the iconic attractions in Kyoto. In autumn, the maple leaves are everywhere, and the scenery is magnificent. The main hall of Kiyomizu-dera Temple and the autumn leaves complement each other beautifully, and both the bright colors during the day and the lights at night are unforgettable. For families with children, Kiyomizu-dera Temple is not only a place to enjoy maple leaf viewing, but also a place to stroll along the paths within the temple or purchase Kyoto specialty snacks in the nearby shopping streets, allowing children to experience more culture and fun. #### 4. Kurama Temple Located in northern Kyoto, Kurama Temple is a maple viewing spot that combines nature and history. The maple leaves at Kurama Temple are magnificent and layered, especially on the trail leading to the top of the mountain, where you and your children can enjoy the red leaves along the way. After reaching the top, you can also overlook the panoramic view of Kyoto city, which is undoubtedly a challenging and exploratory journey for children. In addition, the natural environment of Kurama Temple is very suitable for children to observe plants and animals up close and learn more about nature. #### 5. Nanzenji Temple Nanzenji Temple is one of the classic places to enjoy autumn leaves in Kyoto, especially suitable for family outings. The abbot's garden and the water pavilion in the temple are surrounded by red leaves in autumn, creating beautiful scenery. Bringing children here, you can not only enjoy the elegant red leaves, but also relax in the peaceful temple environment. The ample space inside Nanzenji Temple allows children to move around freely, and the walking paths around the temple are also suitable for a leisurely stroll with the whole family. Kyoto's autumn is particularly charming because of the red leaves. These maple viewing spots not only provide magnificent natural scenery, but also create a rich experience for family travel.

#JapanTravel ✨️Togetsu-kyo 渡月橋 ✨️ is a wooden bridge in Arashiyama, Kyoto. Although it is a small bridge, it boasts a long history and tradition. In December, during the 'Arashiyama Hanatoro (嵐山花灯路)' event, where it is lit up with flowers, the lights of the 'Andon (行灯)', a Japanese lighting device used since ancient times, shine on it, creating a fantastic atmosphere. 🎯1-5 Sagatenryuji Susukinobabacho, Ukyo Ward, Kyoto, 616-8384 Japan #Kyoto #KyotoTravel #Arashimaya #Togetsu-kyo

This Togetsu-kyo Bridge is near Arashiyama Train Station. To us, this place provides more calming feeling than the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. This is a perfect place to admire the beautiful landscape and have a cup of coffee. Sitting here and enjoy the sound of water made us feel so relaxed. Since we came here in September, the leaves were still green. We will come back another time to see the autumn 🍂 foliage which is supposed to be stunning in autumn. #wheretogo

I heard Mai Kuraki's "Togetsukyo Kimi Omofu" and I knew it really existed, so I've always wanted to go there ⸜(* ॑꒳ ॑* )⸝ I went there early, so there were not many tourists, and I was able to relax listening to the river and the birds singing ✿ﾟ❀.(*´▽`*)❀.ﾟ✿ Togetsukyo Bridge is a bridge that spans between the left bank (north side) of the Katsura River and Nakanoshima Park, which is an island, and is entirely located in Ukyo Ward. The bridge is 155m long and 12.2m wide. The road is two lanes, with raised sidewalks on both sides. It is a bridge that symbolizes Arashiyama and a tourist attraction, and is also an important transportation route connecting both sides of the Katsura River. 🏍️Togetsukyo Bridge🏍️ Address: 1-5, Sagatenryuji Munobabacho, Ukyo Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture #Kyoto sightseeing#touring #touring trip #Kyoto #Kyoto trip #Kyoto trip #Kyoto city #Kyoto Arashiyama #Kyoto stroll #Togetsukyo Bridge

There are many small attractions and big sights in Arashiyama, Kyoto. The most beautiful scenery of Arashiyama is at Togetsukyo Bridge. I felt shocked when I first came here. The picture in front of me is like a painting, just in the spring cherry blossom season Holding the whole beauty, I listened to the sound of the water by the river while watching other tourists boating, the feeling is very healing, very comfortable, the stress accumulated from work on weekdays is released, so I stayed at this attraction for a long time, really can't miss it! #Moon Crossing Bridge #Dayanchuan #桂川 #Arashiyama #Kyoto #JapanTravel #Travel

#Japan Attractions #Overseas Travel #Japan Travel #Hong Kong Good Places One of the places to visit in Kyoto🇯🇵 is the Togetsukyo Bridge located in Arashiyama! The first time I went to this place, it was crowded with people. Everyone will take pictures on the Moon Crossing Bridge📸️ as a souvenir! This bridge is the filming location of the famous detective 🕵🏻‍♀️ Conan theatrical version of "Tang Hong's Love Song", it also crosses the river, the upper reaches is called the Hozu River, the lower reaches is the Katsura River 🏞, and behind it is the beautiful Sagano Mountain Head, especially every November-December time, the whole mountain will become colorful! The Moon Crossing Bridge 📍Saga, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture

#Japan Attractions #OverseasTravel #Japan Travel When I come to Kyoto, I will definitely visit Arashiyama! One of my favorite attractions is the Togetsukyo Bridge! The Togetsu Bridge has a long history, its handrails are made of cypress 🪵, and it spans over the Daiyan River, the upper reaches is the Hozu River, the lower reaches is the Katsura River. Togetsukyo (Kyoto, Japan)

One of the must-see attractions in Arashiyama is the Togetsukyo Bridge, which is decorated with wood to match the environment perfectly. Its name was given because it is believed to be like the moon walking on the bridge. The theme song of "Detective Conan: Crimson Love Song" "Togetsukyo Bridge ~Kimi Soufu~" is titled "Togetsukyo Bridge", which shows how famous this bridge is. The Togetsukyo Bridge, which spans the Katsura River, connects the Sagano area on the north side of the bridge with Arashiyama on the south side. However, I believe that the reason why "Togetsukyo Bridge" is famous is because of the beauty of "Katsura River". The long Katsura River is 114 kilometers long and flows through the west side of Kyoto City. It merges with the Kamogawa River and the Ujigawa River before merging into the Yodogawa River. It is one of the largest rivers in Kyoto. The Katsura River was first opened up as a place where the "rafting" for transporting wood in the Heian period ran, and it is a busy river. Today it is one of the best places for tourists to enjoy cherry blossoms and red leaves. In addition to overlooking the scenery of the Katsura River and Arashiyama from the Togetsukyo Bridge, it is also recommended to take a slow walk along both sides of the Katsura River and slowly appreciate the river and the mountains. This will definitely allow you to feel the elegance of Kyoto. There is also a "% Arabica Coffee" not far from the "Togetsukyo Bridge" in the "Katsura River". There was already a long queue when I arrived in the morning. There is also a branch in Hong Kong, but drinking a cup of coffee in such a beautiful environment is another enjoyment. #日本景点 #国外 #日本 #京都 #岚山 #寶津川 #塵川 #japan #kyoto #arashiyama

If you want to experience the beautiful scenery and natural beauty of Kyoto, one of the first choices is Arashiyama. Among them, you must definitely visit the Moon Crossing Bridge and the Bamboo Forest Path. ~Togetsukyo Bridge~ From the bridge, you can enjoy the scenery of the entire Arashiyama, and it is even more beautiful during the maple leaf season. ~The Path in the Bamboo Forest~ Walking into this bamboo forest path, both sides are full and dense, and the bamboo fragrance fills the nose. It is so relaxing to take a leisurely walk~ The phrase "There is a home deep in the bamboo forest" comes to mind. #OverseasTravel#JapanTravel#JapanAttractions#MapleLeaf

Togetsukyo Bridge, a tourist spot in Kyoto, is a soothing place. #Breathtaking view

#Kyoto #Arashiyama #Togetsukyo Bridge This bridge is one of the most famous bridges in Arashiyama, and is so famous that the bridge itself has become a tourist attraction. This bridge also appears in Mai Kuraki's song, but it was actually destroyed by heavy rain a few years ago and had to be rebuilt. However, even after completion, the bridge was still old and had the image of the ancient capital of Kyoto, and I was reminded of the amazing work of the people who worked on it. There are many souvenir shops around Togetsukyo Bridge, and there are train and bus stations nearby, so I think it's one of the most convenient tourist spots to visit.

Arashiyama is known as a famous spot for cherry blossoms and autumn leaves, and is one of the most popular scenic spots in Kyoto. The central figure in Arashiyama is Togetsukyo Bridge, which is very popular because you can directly feel the nature of Kyoto around here. Togetsukyo Bridge spans the Katsura River, which flows freely, with Arashiyama as its backdrop. Tourists from all over the world gather here in search of beautiful scenery in each season. In December, the bridge will be lit up from dusk to night for the Arashiyama Hanatoro. It's a spot that every Japanese person should visit at least once! Please come and visit us! ! #AmazingView #SummerShortTrip #Kyoto #JapanGenkiProject2021 #SummerShortTrip #AmazingView #SpringEnjoyingTrip #TripWithChildren

This is Arashiyama, Kyoto. Several tourist spots, such as Togetsukyo Bridge, the bamboo forest, and Tenryuji Temple, are compactly located here. Arashiyama was unusually crowded during the three-day weekend in autumn foliage season.💦 I like Togetsukyo Bridge itself, but I personally like it the most when I see it with the colored mountains in the background.✨ It's autumn foliage season, so the bamboo forest is naturally green. However, there were some trees with a few red leaves in the green, so it was very colorful.♪ Access: About 40 minutes by bus from Kyoto Station to "Arashiyama Tenryuji-mae". About 15 minutes by JR from Kyoto Station to Saga-Arashiyama Station. About 20 minutes by Arashiyama Railway from Shijo-Omiya Station to Arashiyama Station. #Kyoto #supportingtourism #Autumnfoliage #supportingtourism#greatview

#cherryblossom25 Heyyy nature lovers! 🌿 Just got back from Arashiyama—Kyoto’s famous bamboo forest spot—and wow, it’s so much more than just that one Instagram path. I explored Togetsukyo Bridge and the hidden gems around it, and here’s the tea: First Glance: "Wait, This Bridge is HUGE!" 🌉 Togetsukyo Bridge is way more impressive in person—a massive wooden arc over the Katsura River, with mountains hugging the horizon. The view? Chef’s kiss. But the real fun? Renting a rowboat (¥3,000/hour) and paddling under it while tourists wave at you from above. (Yes, I felt like a main character.) Pro Tip: Go early (8 AM) to beat the crowds. By noon, it’s a zoo. The "Oops" Moment 🚣♀️ Tried to take a ~serene~ riverside selfie… until a giant swan boat photobombed me. (Kyoto’s version of a photobomber? Majestic.) Snack Attack! 🍡 Warabimochi (jelly-like mochi dusted with roasted soybean flour) from a stall near the bridge—so soft it melts on your tongue. Matcha soft serve with actual matcha bitterness (none of that sugary stuff). Hidden Foodie Spot: A tiny sweet potato cart tucked behind the bridge—roasted to caramelized perfection. 🍠 Secret Spots Most Tourists Miss 🔍 "The Bamboo Forest’s Quiet Twin" → Walk 10 mins north of the bridge to Rakushisha (The Hut of Fallen Persimmons), a poet’s hermitage with wild, overgrown bamboo. Almost no one goes here! "The Riverside Rock Path" → Follow the river west past the bridge to find flat stepping stones leading to a tiny island. Perfect for a mini picnic! Quick & Scenic Itinerary ⏳ 7:30 AM 🚂: Arrive via Randen tram (less crowded than JR). 8:00 AM 🌉: Togetsukyo Bridge photos (golden hour!). 9:00 AM 🎋: Bamboo Forest before tour buses arrive. 10:30 AM 🍡: Snack break + river stroll. 12:00 PM 🚣: Rowboat adventure (or nap under cherry trees). Why It’s a Must-Do ✔ Iconic views (but with secret quiet corners). ✔ Easy to explore—compact and walkable. ✔ Four seasons of beauty (cherry blossoms in spring, fiery maple leaves in fall!). Rating: 9/10 (minus 1 for the swan boat sabotage). Who else loves Arashiyama? Drop your fave spot below! 👇 #ArashiyamaDreaming #BridgeOfMyHeart P.S. Wear comfy shoes—those river rocks are slippery! 😅

#cherryblossom25 It's that time of year again — Sakura Season, my absolute favorite! Here’s a list of stunning cherry blossom spots around Kyoto and Kansai that have totally stolen my heart 💗✨ 🏯 Himeji Castle A lesser-known cherry blossom spot compared to busy Osaka and Kyoto, but top-ranked by Lonely Planet! It’s one of Japan’s three most famous castles, with elegant white walls surrounded by clouds of pink blossoms — totally dreamy and romantic 💕 🚄 Access: ~60 mins from JR Kyoto Station via Shinkansen ~45 mins from JR Shin-Osaka 15 min walk from JR Himeji Station 🏯 Hikone Castle (Shiga) Near Kyoto, this spot features a beautiful weeping cherry tree right at the entrance shrine — photo-perfect! As you explore further inside, you’re surrounded by full-bloom trees and can even spot Lake Biwa in the distance. 🚄 Access: 48 mins from JR Kyoto Station to Hikone Station 🌸 Sewaritei (背割堤) A local favorite for hanami! Even from afar, you’ll see a long stretch of sakura lining the riverbanks for kilometers. It can get crowded, but just walk a little deeper — there are plenty of peaceful spots for perfect photos 📸🌸 ⛩️ Fushimi Jukkokubune River Cruise A canal lined with cherry trees on both sides — you can stroll under the blossoms or take a traditional boat ride for the full experience. If you catch the sakura snow, the petals cover the water like a pink blanket 💕 🕰️ Tip: Morning visits are best, and boat rides need to be booked in advance! 🦌 Nara Park Aside from stunning sakura, you’ll find adorable deer under the cherry trees! For the most romantic view, go to Ukimi-do Pavilion where the lake reflects the falling blossoms like a dream 🌸🦌💕 🌸 Saho River (左保川) A lesser-known gem — this peaceful little river is lined with cherry blossoms for 7 kilometers, and you’ll hardly run into any tourists. Just calm, scenic beauty 🌸🌿 🏮 Hirano Shrine This shrine features over 60 types of cherry trees! Stroll through the blooms during the day, then stick around in the evening for illuminated night sakura and a charming little temple fair 💡🌸 🚃 Arashiyama Famous for both autumn leaves and sakura, this Kyoto suburb is packed with charm! Don’t miss the bamboo forest, Nonomiya Shrine, Tenryu-ji Temple, and Togetsukyo Bridge. ✨ Bonus: Catch the Randen cherry blossom tunnel with a purple tram gliding through — like stepping into an anime scene 💜🚃 🚂 Keage Incline (蹴上インクライン) This abandoned railway is now a stunning sakura walkway. Walk along the tracks under a canopy of cherry blossoms — when the wind blows, it rains petals. Pure magic 🌸🚶♀️🌸 #travel

Togetsukyō Bridge, one of the most popular places to see cherry blossoms in Arashiyama, everyone must have encountered problems taking pictures because there are so many people! 🥹 So we will recommend a hidden corner but still get beautiful pictures, seeing the view of the bridge, the river, and cherry blossoms. Even if you go alone, you can still get beautiful pictures 🌸 • When you get off the train, walk along the path until you reach the bathroom before reaching the bridge. There will be a corner with stones placed as a seat. This corner is it. Prepare your tripod and start taking pictures. Wait for a moment when there are no people. You will definitely get a picture. 📸 • Another thing I would like to recommend is to arrive before 9 am because more people will start to arrive. It will be a bit difficult to find a corner.

I went on a trip to Osaka and Kyoto with my family in the spring. We saw cherry blossoms, crossed the Dogetsu Bridge, and ate at Saganoyu, which is a renovated bathhouse that is now a restaurant.🍝🥗 We went to the bamboo forest.🎋 We went to Yojiya Cafe and had a latte.🍵 We went to Linebeck and had pancakes. We went to the Museum of Housing. We went to the garden house. We ate sushi at the (Murin-an) market. We grilled Kobe beef. We went to Don Quijote and did some shopping. I've been to Japan a lot. This trip is especially memorable. #KyotoTravel #JuneTravelSupportEvent #OsakaTravel
