The afternoon tea here is amazing! All the egg dishes and French desserts are so beautifully made. Plus, the location is perfect—you get a direct view of the Togetsukyo Bridge.

Okayama Castle
This castle was created by Warlord Hideie Ukita in 1597. The main castle was built on top of a hill named Okayama, and the Tensyu (castle tower), was built in front of the Asahikawa River. The adjacent castle town was created with merchants and craftsmen.
Okayama Castle is right across from Korakuen Garden, so it's really convenient to visit both spots together. The ticket price isn't too expensive, and the combo ticket with Korakuen is an even better deal.

Tennoji Zoo
Tennoji Zoo opened on January 1st, 1915 and had its 100th anniversary in 2015. Almost 170 species and 1000 animals are kept in about 11 hectares of the zoo. In the reptile house, "Ifar," and in “African Savanna Zone” where hippopotamus, giraffes, and lions live, the ecological exhibition introduces reproduced scenery of animals’ habitats as closely as possible.
The ticket is only 500 yen, so it's really not expensive at all. I definitely didn't regret going in—in fact, I thought it was a great deal.

Sagano Romantic train
The Sagano Kanko Railway's trolley trains operate on a revived part of the former San'in Main Line, which was closed down. Classical Art Deco style coaches coupled to a diesel locomotive travel 7.3 km one way from Torokko Saga Station, adjacent to JR Saga-Arashiyama Station, to Torokko Kameoka Station, taking about 25 minutes.
The ride is only 25 minutes, so it's not that long, but the scenery along the way is absolutely fantastic!
