A mountainous district on the western edge of Kyoto where the Oi River winds past forested slopes and historic temples. The bamboo grove of Sagano draws photographers for its towering green culms and filtered morning light. The area also harbors the monkey park on Iwatayama and the elegant Tenryu-ji garden, which is a UNESCO-designated site.
