［Passing through the bamboo grove path, visitors can reach the observatory at Arashiyama Park (Kameyama area) (also known as "Kameyama Park"), which is located at the summit of the mountain. The name comes from its association with Emperor Kameyama of the Kamakura period (1185-1333). From the observatory, a view of the Hozu River cruise boat and the trolley train awaits those who have worked hard to climb the mountain. Let the autumn leaves burn in your eyes as you take in the autumn scenery of Arashiyama.

After a lot of walking, go to the restaurant [as], which opened in December 2020. In a Japanese-style house nestled at the foot of Arashiyama, you can enjoy a menu that focuses on the best ingredients, and you can even stay overnight. Pizzas made with local ingredients, such as a shiso-based pizza that goes well with kujo leeks and shirasu (baby sardines) and an oil-based pizza with Manganji chili peppers and Fukuchiyama garlic, are exquisite.

Tea time at TEA ROOM KIKI Kyoto Arashiyama Honten, which opened in Arashiyama in November 2021. Specializing in tea and scones, the store offers carefully selected tableware, tea leaves suited to the Japanese palate, and homemade food. KIKI's cream tea, with its buttery clotted cream and sour raspberries, is the perfect 3:00 p.m. snack after a hard day's walk!
