Okochi Sanso Garden

Perched on the slopes of Mt. Ogura, this breathtaking villa and garden was created over 30 years by silent film star Denjiro Okochi. It offers some of Kyoto's finest views of Arashiyama and the Hozu River, featuring seasonal maples and cherry blossoms without the heavy crowds of nearby Tenryu-ji. Your ticket includes a peaceful moment at the teahouse to enjoy hot matcha and a traditional sweet.
