Walking Oku-Arashiyama Trip

I would like to inform Oku-Arashiyama trip.

Get off at JR Kyoto, change train to Saga-Arashiyama.
Get off at this station, first to go to Washoku restaurant for lunch.


I order Kaiseki lunch 3000yen. Tenpura, Tofu are good taste.
But Arashiyama's prices of commodities is little bitte high.
After 12:00, restaurant is full, I recommend early lunch is convenient.


After lunch, go to Oku-Arashiyama, through Togetsukyo, Nakanoshima park.
Cross the bridge, and turn right along Katsura river and Hozu River.
