FREE BRIDGE AND RIVER WALKASIA KYOTO · JAPAN
Togetsukyo Bridge and Arashiyama riverside
A free bridge crossing and riverside stroll at the foot of Arashiyama, with seasonal crowds and paid activities nearby.
What to expect
Togetsukyo Bridge crosses the Katsura River in front of Arashiyama’s mountain backdrop and has been a local landmark for centuries. The bridge itself is a public crossing; riverbank paths give a closer view of the water and hills. This stop sits in one of Kyoto’s busiest visitor districts, where boat rides, temples, gardens and food are paid separately.
