Arashiyama in all seasons: cherry blossoms in spring, fresh greenery in summer, autumn leaves in autumn and snow-capped mountains in winter - the beauty of nature can be enjoyed in a variety of ways throughout the year. Arashiyama's vegetation is four times more diverse than that of Europe, and vividly reflects the natural changes of the seasons.
Tenryu-ji Temple's Sogenchi Garden: Surrounded by the Kyoto basin and mountains since the Heian period, Arashiyama has flourished as a playground for aristocrats since ancient times. At its heart, Tenryu-ji's Sogenchi Garden offers a quintessential example of a Japanese garden that uses the technique of 'borrowed scenery' to transform nature itself into a work of art. The flow of the Hozu River and the surrounding nature are skilfully incorporated as part of the garden, allowing visitors to experience the art of harmony with nature.
