I just visited Arashiyama in Kyoto, and this place is truly an astonishing tourist destination! Arashiyama is famous not only for its natural beauty that changes with the seasons but also for its many historical buildings filled with Japanese charm. As one of Japan's major tourist destinations, Arashiyama has become increasingly popular with visitors in recent years. The natural environment here is extremely rich, with the Oi River and the Arashiyama mountain range, as well as many famous spots for viewing autumn leaves and cherry blossoms. Whether it's the cherry blossoms in spring or the colorful autumn leaves, both are truly refreshing to the spirit. In addition, Arashiyama has many historically valuable buildings and attractions, such as the Togetsukyo Bridge, Tenryu-ji Temple, the Sagano Bamboo Forest Path, the Nison-in Temple on Ogurayama, and the Iwatayama Monkey Park. These spots not only allow visitors to feel the unique cultural atmosphere of Japan but also to enjoy the beautiful natural scenery.

#japantrip In the rain, The elegance of Japanese gardens blends perfectly from architect to plants. There are many people on the bamboo path, and we stroll around to the Yufa Shrine hoping to keep our friends with dense hair. Matcha milk ice cream 🍦 is a must-have. Arashiyama Bamboo was originally thought to be a large bamboo forest, but it turned out to be just a small section. There are also some areas that are surrounded and cannot be entered, unless riding a human powered tricycle is restricted by profit-making methods. The tricycle master will also keep shouting and soliciting customers. If you have funds, you can consider it. It's a bit 💰expensive. But must try thing in the bucket list. For those who like seafood 🦞 and sushi 🍱 fillets at Nishiki Market, please make sure to come. Their business hours are only 5 pm,🕔

The cherry blossom front is forecasted to start blooming on March 23 and reach full bloom by March 31. Therefore, I booked a cherry blossom viewing trip to Kyoto from March 26 to March 31. Kyoto experienced a snowfall on March 21, and this year's unusual temperatures have delayed the flowering period by a week. Although some places had not even started blooming when we left, we still witnessed the stunning full bloom, realized how quickly cherry blossoms can grow within a week, understood the difficulty of perfect timing, and reflected on how important it is to cherish the beauty of the present. During this six-day trip, we stayed in Arashiyama, so we could also say we witnessed the cherry blossoms' journey from buds to full bloom, especially the cherry trees along the Katsura River, and on the hills of Kameyama and Kogetsusan in Arashiyama. The saying that cherry blossoms change every seven days is no exaggeration; some blossomed from buds to full bloom within a single day.

Unlike the delicate pinks of spring or the dazzling array of colors in autumn, Kyoto in the summer is a realm of cool, pure green. The many ancient temples and shrines hidden amidst the verdure are perfect spots for enjoying the cool breeze and scenic beauty. Among them, I particularly recommend the following route: 👉🏻Sanzen-in Temple — Kifune Shrine — Arashiyama ⭕Compared to the crowded Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Gion, the famous spots in Kyoto, Sanzen-in Temple and Kifune Shrine can be considered hidden gems. Although these two places have become more well-known in the past two years, the number of visitors is still not high due to the relatively inconvenient transportation. ⭕As one of the renowned temples in the northern area of Kyoto, Sanzen-in Temple not only boasts magnificent and exquisite ancient architecture, but its gardens, Seiryu-en and Jyuboku-en, are also a feast for the eyes, casting a spell that calms the soul. The tall, verdant maple trees complement the bright green moss, creating a lush ink painting scene, and in May and June, you can also see the hydrangeas in full bloom. Additionally, the famous red bridge stands out even more against the surrounding greenery, making for an excellent photo opportunity. ⭕Not far from Sanzen-in Temple is Kifune Shrine, which also has a long history. The red lanterns lining the stone steps leave a lasting impression, as if guiding the way to the realm of the gods. The shrine venerates the deities of rain and water sources, and visitors can draw omikuji fortune slips here. Interestingly, the fortunes only become visible when placed in the shrine's fountain. ⭕The summer in Arashiyama brings a more natural atmosphere than the Kyoto city center. The greenery on both sides of the Hozu River blooms like massive clouds, and away from the crowds, numerous ancient temples and shrines are nestled within, offering a tranquil path worth exploring at leisure. ⭕Due to the inconvenient transportation (long distances and the need for transfers), joining a day tour group is actually a better choice. ⭕In conclusion, whether you're traveling alone or with friends and family, this treasure of a day trip route is definitely something you should experience!

Scenic place by the lake at Arashiyama during Autumn. You can rent Kimono from nearby shops and explore a few photo spots around the area. The bamboo forest is also walking distance away. Will recommend to come early as it can be quite crowded in the day especially the bamboo forest. There are also some cafes/ temples near the area that are good for chilling. We went to a small temple to enjoy a cup of matcha green tea while getting some photos. #arashiyama #schoolholidays

Good morning! Today is another day full of energy~ I had breakfast at the hotel early in the morning and am ready to go to Kyoto! Speaking of which, living in Nagoya, it's really convenient to travel to Kyoto! It only takes about 34 minutes by Shinkansen. And there are quite a few benefits: if you encounter the tourist season in Kyoto and Osaka, the cost performance of hotels in Nagoya will be very high. In addition, if you enter from Chubu International Airport, you can perfectly avoid airports with particularly dense crowds, and the journey will be more comfortable. So, let's play in Kyoto with Mengmeng today! 🦊AKANEYA Hand-painted fox mask experience I used to see fox masks in anime often, especially the mask in 'The Forest of Fireflies' left a deep impression on me. I've always been thinking, when can I have my own unique fox mask? This time I came to Kyoto and booked an experience on the 2nd floor of Kyoto Tower. There are two masks to choose from, I chose the larger one, and created on the spot Inspiration: the cat's head at home + rosemary, Japanese maple, etc. planted in the yard, I quite like it! In the afternoon, I can take the fox mask I painted to travel in Arashiyama! 🥗Pickled vegetable isoism Kyoto people really like to eat pickles, this is not just a hobby of the elderly, local young girls also like to go to some very fashionable pickle shops for dinner. This whole small house located on the west of Karasuma Shichijo is a pickle specialty store. The store is full of various vegetable pickles from Kyoto, the plating is particularly cute and girly. The small paper pad on the table hand-drawn the benefits of each pickle: for example, mushroom 'plump prevention', pumpkin 'immune UP'. A variety of pickles with rice, nutritious and healthy. 🍁Arashiyama Although it's not the season of colorful autumn leaves, Arashiyama in winter also has a unique temperament. Last month I posted a crazy exclamation 'Romantic to death' of Yosai Pavilion, this month I came again, hh. I really love the room of Yasunari Kawabata in Yosai Pavilion and the terrace of dyed cloth. Order a cup of matcha with red leaves and snacks here, quietly appreciate the scenery of Arashiyama, and feel the passage of time. Unconsciously, I played in Kyoto until it got dark, and I have to return to Nagoya! Tomorrow, my friends and I plan to travel to Shirakawa-go, a place I've wanted to go for a long time! Moreover, it's quite convenient to go to Shirakawa-go from Nagoya, and it won't take too long on the road. So, look forward to my guide tomorrow!

Arashiyama during sakura season is a sensory marvel, where every sight, scent, and sound evokes the essence of spring. Cherry blossoms adorn the landscape in a delicate tapestry of pink and white, creating a breathtaking backdrop for leisurely strolls along the Katsura River. The iconic Togetsukyo Bridge becomes a gateway to tranquility, framed by cascading blossoms and verdant foliage. Wander through the famed bamboo groves, where the gentle rustle of leaves harmonizes with the soft whispers of petals dancing in the breeze. You can also indulge in hanami picnics beneath the blossoms, savoring the fleeting beauty of nature's spectacle. As the sun sets, lantern-lit paths lead to enchanting evening views, casting a magical glow over the blossoms. #cherryblossom2024 #tripstars

#2023travelwish located at Kyoto Japan, take the JR San-in or Sagano lines to Saga-Arashiyama Station. one of the Kyoto finest park, Arashiyama park. it’s located near the famous bamboo forest but it’s so much more. my first time seeing autumn leaves in real life. wishing to see the next full bloom when I visit. falling leaves have an alluding charm. it’s very beautiful. you can take a boat ride near the river, drop by a tofu restaurant which sells excellent food (reservation needed) take a slow stroll from park to the bamboo groves. beauty is everywhere as long as you look hard enough, but in this case you don’t even need to try hard. #followchelto #kyoto #japan #autumn
