Arashiyama is a famous scenic spot. Thousands of powerful bamboo groves and Togetsukyo Bridge, which has a romantic origin that says, "It looks like the moon is crossing over the bridge," make for a stately landscape. The area around Arashiyama is perfect for an adult girls' trip.

Arashiyama is far from the city center, so it is recommended to use the train. The Keifuku Electric Railway Arashiyama Line is a private railway commonly known as "Araden", and it still has retro cars with a strong atmosphere! The retro feeling that you can't easily see in the city will make you sigh♡

What you should pay attention to is the "Kimono Forest" around Arashiyama Station (Keifuku Electric Railway Arashiyama Line). There are about 600 Yuzen-wrapped poles lined up, and you can enjoy the gorgeous Japanese beauty! During the day, it has a spectacular look, and at night, it is lit up and has a glossy look that will stimulate your sense of beauty. It's a photogenic spot that any woman would want to try, "wearing a kimono and taking a picture here...".
