How do I get to Okochi Sanso Garden if I am driving and need to park my car?

Detailed answer

Since Okochi Sanso Garden is located at the end of a narrow pedestrian path through the bamboo grove, it is not accessible by car. Visitors driving to the garden should park at one of the Saga-Arashiyama pay parking lots. From there, it's a short walk through the bamboo grove trail. Be aware that traffic congestion in Arashiyama can be heavy, especially during peak travel seasons. Plan your visit accordingly and consider using public transportation or arriving early to avoid the crowds. The walking distance from the parking lots to the garden is approximately 10-15 minutes.
