This time, I will write an article about Arashiyama.

I'm sure there are some customers who are wondering, "Where on earth would I be most satisfied with taking pictures?"
This time, I would like to introduce Arashiyama area that I recommend.

Arashiyama is a mountain located in the western part of Kyoto City.
Generally, the area on both banks of the Katsura River is called Arashiyama.
It is often featured on social media and the media, and many of our customers may know that it has Togetsukyo Bridge and Bamboo forest.
For access, the nearest stations are Arashiyama Station on the Hankyu Line, JR Saga Arashiyama Station, and Arashiyama Station on the Keifuku Line.
