Kyoto Arashiyama Kinkaku ji and Northern Kyoto Highlights

Explore several very different sides of Kyoto in one private journey—from the bamboo-covered landscapes of Arashiyama and the famous Golden Pavilion to the forested mountain atmosphere of Kibune and Ohara. Unlike standard Kyoto tours concentrated around Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizudera, and Gion, this itinerary connects western Kyoto with the quieter northern districts, making it suitable for repeat visitors as well as travelers looking for a more scenic and relaxed Kyoto experience. You can choose from attractions such as Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, Togetsukyo Bridge, Kinkakuji, Kibune Shrine, seasonal Kibune Kawadoko riverside dining, Sanzenin Temple, and Rurikoin Temple .
