Arashiyama and Sagano is in the west of Kyoto and at the foot of mountains. The area has scenic sites and beautiful landscapes including Baboo forest, Tenryu-ji Temple and Togetsukyo Bridge. The river called Katsura River runs in the middle of the area from west to east. Ride the Sagano Scenic Train if you have a chance. The retro-style sightseeing train runs through nature along Hozukyo valley. During the 30 minute ride, you can enjoy beautiful scenery and full of greenery.  
Cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves are absolutely stunning. Morning would be the best time to visit there since you can get away from the crowds. The Arashiyama and Sagano area are the places you shouldn't miss when visiting Kyoto.
