Visit one of the best machiya (Kyoto traditional house) and meet with the owner who will explain about the history, and how he works to preserve the house. Then take a train to Arashiyama, to visit Tenryu-ji temple (famous for the beautiful landscape garden) and to walk through bamboo grove and enjoy Katsuragawa river from Togetsukyo bridge. Another charming temple Gioji can also be included.
