Overview

Discover the highlights of Arashiyama with this combination of a rickshaw ride and a walking tour. Traveling by rickshaw helps you speed up your explorations of the bamboo forest, with a driver to navigate so you don’t get lost. Later, disembark and discover the traditional “machiya” houses on foot, with a chance to go inside a tea house with your guide.
