Overview

We keep groups small, with a maximum of 10 guests, so you enjoy a truly premium experience.
Your route avoids crowds and follows quiet, insider paths that bring you closer to real local life and the beauty of nature.

Also you'll be guided by someone who actually lives here — not a script reader — so you get the real stories, secret spots, and local life instead of the standard tourist version. You'll learn why emperors, nobles, and wealthy merchants all chose Arashiyama as their private retreat, and how history, food culture, zen culture and daily life all connect to this landscape.

By the time you’ve seen the views, tasted the flavours, and heard the truth behind Arashiyama, you won’t just visit Arashiyama — you’ll understand it and fall in love with its soul.
