What makes this place special?
At a Glance
Togetsukyo Bridge spans the Katsura River beneath Arashiyama's wooded hills in western Kyoto. Its low profile and cypress parapets frame views along the river, making the bridge and nearby banks a natural landmark for a walk through the district.

Know before you go
Use the riverside to pause for views without blocking people crossing. The surrounding shops and restaurants are separate businesses, and boat or rickshaw experiences have their own arrangements. Decide which side of the river you need for your next stop before setting a meeting point or onward route.
