Revel in this serene spiritual atmosphere that has appealed to travellers from across the world.

Overnight visitors are in for a treat at the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. An enchanting evening walk under the moonlit bamboo canopy whispers tales from ancient Japan, adding a phenomenal end to the day's adventure.
