Bamboo Forest & Sukjai River Bridge @ARASHIYAMA

#arashiyama ARASHIYAMA Arashiyama Kyoto
Old train, spectacular, bamboo forest

Sagano tram runs from TOROKKO SAGA station to TOROKKO KAMEOKA station, a total distance of 4 stations, taking about 25 minutes. From the beginning of the journey, the classic open-air old train takes in the fresh air, along with the trees changing colors, yellow, orange, red, brown, green, alternating with the mountains. The train runs along the river, surrounded by nature on both sides. Oh… The train stops to take pictures and enjoy the view at the landing point. We can hug and greet the Tanuki clay dolls. The Japanese believe that this doll brings good fortune to life and career.
As for us, we saw a cute, chubby Tanuki standing to greet us with a straw hat prop.

We couldn’t help but hug him……

We were amazed until we reached the platform, the highlight of the enchanted bamboo forest, which is beautiful, shady, peaceful, and elegant with tall green trunks. There is also Togetsukyo Bridge, the symbol of Arashiyama. Sit and rest along this river. Even though the bridge looks simple, When all the beloveds are sitting on their butts, kneeling, arms in the middle, feet with the grass and stones that we sit on the floor, it is comfortable for the ears and eyes, allowing time to walk along with stopping for a moment, it is a memorable moment, light and refreshing with the surrounding air. For the journey from the bamboo forest to the bridge, if you want to add some sweetness, here there is a cafe and a dessert shop. You can sit and enjoy nature through the clear glass with a wide view, another taste. Oh, don't forget to walk across the bridge to see the view of the river, trees and mountains before continuing your journey. ... #Green attracts happiness 🤩
