Hiking

The "Kimono Forest" at the Arashiyama Station is accessible for free and is wonderfully lit in the evening.

Hiking

The Kimono Forest is located right next to the train station. From there, you can easily take the Randen train back to the city. The train consists of only two carriages and is very colorful and playfully designed – with comics and cheerful motifs. I don't remember exactly what was on it, but it has a typically Japanese and very original feel. The Japanese love such charming, creative details.

I would definitely recommend this train instead of taking the often overcrowded bus, which takes over an hour for the journey.
