Ryoanji to Arashiyama 2014/12/26 18:20
Hello,

I am going to Kyoto next month and I have planned to go Kinkaku-Ji to Royan-Ji to Arashiyama.

May I ask how can I get from Royan-Ji to Arashiyama station? Is taking the train possible?

After visting Tenryu-Ji and Bamboo grove in Arashiyama, I would probably have about half a day left.

Do anyone have any suggestions on how I can fill the 2nd part of the day up?

Thanks!

Take the Randen Railway:

Most people would not have half a day left after such a program. Only if you start early in the evening or travel at a very fast pace, may you still be left with half a day.

I suggest to chose destinations based on interest. Arashiyama itself has a wealth of additional sites of interest, including temples, a villa and a monkey park:

For another World Heritage temple, I recommend Ninnaji near Ryoanji.

If you still had half a day left, the Toei Eigamura could be a different type of attraction:
