MK Guide Recommends

Spanning the serene waters of the Katsura River, Togetsukyo Bridge, or "Moon Crossing Bridge," is an iconic symbol of Kyoto's Arashiyama district. Originally built during the Heian period, this historical wooden bridge offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, especially stunning during the cherry blossom and autumn foliage seasons. The gentle flow of the river, coupled with the lush greenery and seasonal colors, creates a tranquil and picturesque backdrop that has inspired poets and artists for centuries. Stroll across the bridge at sunset, when the sky transforms into a canvas of vibrant hues, reflecting off the water and enhancing the bridge’s ethereal beauty. Nearby attractions, including the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest and Tenryu-ji Temple, make Togetsukyo Bridge a perfect addition to your cultural exploration of Kyoto. Whether you’re capturing the perfect photograph or simply savoring the moment, a visit to Togetsukyo Bridge promises a serene and memorable experience.
