Sorted by distance from the start of arashiyama: the bamboo grove and the river. Good for stitching together a longer day.

The preserved old street, a field of stone buddhas, and a moss garden in the upper Sagano.

The sake-brewers' shrine and its modern garden, then the river path north to Arashiyama.

Kyoto's oldest temple, a smiling wooden bodhisattva, and the little Randen tram streets.

The great Omuro temple, its low late cherries and five-storey pagoda, then the road past Ryoan-ji.
