Discover the enduring beauty of Togetsukyo Bridge, a stunning blend of history and natural scenery.
MK Guide Recommends
Togetsukyo Bridge spans the Katsura River in Kyoto’s Arashiyama district and serves as one of the area’s defining landmarks. The bridge traces its origins to the Heian period, though its current form reflects later reconstructions using a combination of wood and reinforced materials. Framed by low mountains, Togetsukyo is especially associated with seasonal scenery, drawing crowds during the cherry blossom and autumn foliage seasons. It functions as both a pedestrian crossing and a visual anchor for the surrounding riverside landscape, connecting visitors to nearby sites such as the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove and Tenryu-ji Temple. More than a destination in itself, the bridge serves as a threshold between river, mountain, and town, shaping how the Arashiyama area is experienced on foot.
