Arashiyama (嵐山) is a famous tourist district on the western outskirts of Kyoto, Japan. It is well known for the wooden bridge crossing Ōi River (大堰川, Ōi-gawa) with forested Mount Arashiyama in the background. At the bridge Ōi River changes name, and becomes Katsura River (桂川, Katsura-gawa).
Other key sites of interest in Arashiyama are Tenryuji Temple (Tenryū-ji), a leading Zen Buddhist temple, and the famous bamboo grove nearby.
