To get to Arashiyama, you will come across the beautiful Togetsukyo Bridge, also known as “Moon Crossing Bridge.”
The bridge divides the river into two. West of the bridge, the river is named Hozu River while east of the bridge, the river is named Katsura River.
On the east side, enjoy the scenic view on a kayak.
(Arashiyama, Kyoto, Japan)
Kamo river is a great place to stroll or have a picnic when the weather is nice in Kyoto.
Parallel to the river are restaurants with extended balconies to create a nice dining experience.
(Gion, Kyoto, Japan)
An oasis of lush greenery, tea houses, former residences, koi, and bridges within the city. A perfect place to picnic or take wedding photos. No need to bring food for the picnic. They sell bento boxes and drinks through out the park.
Teahouse
Picnicking on the grounds. You can buy bento box lunches at the house in the back.
Admission is generally 200 yen but it was free when I went because it was Greenery Day (May 4).
