Neighbourhood information

つばめ家の周辺には世界屈指の観光地、嵐山や金閣寺があり日帰り温泉や飲食店もあります! 朝、広沢池周辺を散歩すると、畑で採れた新鮮な京野菜が売ってます。 季節の京野菜を味わってみませんか? また、嵐山では竹林の道を散歩したり、モンキーパークでモンキーと戯れながら、京都を一望するのも旅の気分転換に! お寺巡りはもちろん、トロッコ電車乗って保津川下りを体感したり、季節の変わり行きを感じながら、自然を満喫できるのが嵐山のいいところ! 着物や浴衣を着て散策されると、とても絵になるところです。 日が暮れたころには、観光で疲れた体を温泉で癒すのもいいですね。 スーパー銭湯や、昔ながらの薪でお湯を沸かす銭湯も近くにあります。 楽しみ方は色々、あなた次第です。 交通手段も豊富なので、嵐山を拠点にし観光地めぐりをするのも簡単です。 皆様のお越しを、心よりお待ちしております。
