Walking
If you are in the center of Arashiyama, head towards the iconic Togetsukyo Bridge. Cross the bridge and walk straight along the main road. After crossing the bridge, continue walking for about 15 minutes until you reach a fork in the road. Take the left path that leads you towards Sagatenryuji Temple. Continue walking for another 5 minutes and you will see Kimono Forest on your right, located at 20-2 Sagatenryuji Tsukurimichicho.
Public Transport (Bus)
From the Arashiyama Station, take the Kyoto City Bus #28 towards the Sagatenryuji Temple. It is a short ride of about 5 minutes. Get off at the 'Sagatenryuji' bus stop. From there, walk towards the Sagatenryuji Temple entrance, and Kimono Forest is just a 3-minute walk from the temple, located at 20-2 Sagatenryuji Tsukurimichicho. Please note that the bus fare is approximately 230 yen.
