Recommended for weddings in Kyoto! Photo Spots for a Pre-wedding Photo Shoot – Arashiyama

【Feel the Nature of Japan】The bamboo forest path

The bamboo forest path is a narrow path of about 400 meters lined with tall bamboo groves.
The sun’s rays change as they sway in the wind, and the sun’s rays that shine through change their expression with each passing moment and each season.
It is a great place for filming movies for use at weddings because of the sound as well as the scenery.
In the lush green bamboo grove, we recommend not only kimonos but also pure white dresses.
Spring with fresh greenery, summer with sounds, autumn with autumn leaves and greenery, and winter with snowy landscapes.
Why don’t you take a picture of the two of you in a healing space woven by nature?

Located at the end of the bamboo forest path through a bamboo grove, visitors can enjoy the richness of nature.

【Feel the elegance of Kyoto】Togetsu Bridge

Togetsu Bridge is one of the most popular spots in Arashiyama and it is 155m long and 12.2m wide, has two lanes and has sidewalks on both sides.
The wooden balustrade and the borrowed mountains add seasonal color to this atmospheric wooden balustrade.
One of the charms of this photo spot is that it changes its look depending on the season and time of day, allowing the couple to take their own unique pre-shoot photos.
The cherry blossoms in spring and the autumn leaves in fall are undeniably spectacular.
Instead of cherry blossoms and autumn leaves filling the entire area, it is an elegant beauty with green and white colors.
This is recommended for couples who want to take an elegant photo in kimono that is uniquely Kyoto.
