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.
