Area

Arashiyama, one of Kyoto’s most famous sightseeing areas, is lively with visitors year-round.
This property is located in Okusaga, just north of Arashiyama—an area known as a quiet hidden gem with traditional thatched-roof homes and historic temples such as Otagi Nenbutsu-ji, Adashino Nenbutsu-ji, and Gio-ji.

Behind Adashino Nenbutsu-ji lies a peaceful bamboo grove ideal for quiet walks. Each year in late August, the temple hosts Sento Kuyo, a candlelit memorial event that bathes the grounds in a mystical glow.
