Welcome to Tenryu-ji, a truly special place here in Arashiyama. As you step inside, you'll feel the serene atmosphere of this important Zen temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The real heart of the temple is its stunning Sogenchi Garden, a masterpiece that perfectly frames the surrounding mountains as 'borrowed scenery.' It’s a tranquil spot to simply sit and soak in the beauty. From the garden, you can conveniently wander directly into the famous Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. A visit costs 500 yen for the garden, with a small additional fee to enter the temple halls.
