Kyoto Arashiyama in June | Bamboo Forest, Little Train, Togetsukyo Bridge Summer Wanderer⛩️

In June, Mount Arashi, although not as stunning as the spring and autumn seasons, can feel its natural and quiet beauty because there are no crowded tourists

📍Arashiyama Bamboo Forest Road (Arashiyama Motoyama-cho, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture)
The sun shines slantingly on the bamboo forest, and the green leaves sprinkle golden threads🌿 The mountain breeze blows through, which is still very comfortable even in the hot summer. The trail is 500 meters long, slow walk for 20 minutes is just right, remember to wear light shoes, avoid the midday high temperature more comfortable ~

🚂Arashiyama Mini Train (Hotsu Gorge Line) (Arashiyama Station, Saikyo-ku, Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture)
I wanted to ride in luxury carriage No. 5, but there is no space for temporary tickets. It is recommended to book the "Kumuoka → Arashiyama" section ticket on the official website in advance 🎫 and sit by the window to enjoy the scenery along the way! In June, the greenery along the way is dense, the canyon scenery flows with the swaying train, the Bozu River is sparkling, and you will see people on the boat waving and greeting you, full of humanity✨

🚢 Katsura River Crossing the Moon Bridge Rafting (Arashiyama Motoyama-cho, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture)
Supporting the pole through the bottom of the transitional moon bridge, the distant mountains and bridge shadows are dizzy on the water, the water level is just right in June, occasionally waterfowl skim by, the picture moves like a ukiyo-e! It is recommended to avoid the noon time, it will be more comfortable ~

💡Tips:
▸ There are many restaurants in Arashiyama. Eating a bowl of ice on a hot summer day is very refreshing and tastes great~
