Japan Travel Diary 36. Kyoto

📍Arashiyama

Arashiyama, located west of Kyoto, is home to a huge number of tourist attractions.

I've brought you a trip that's a bit off the beaten path, allowing you to enjoy a quiet morning!

📍Otagi Nenbutsuji (10:00-11:00 AM)

Otagi Nenbutsuji is famous for its stone statues inspired by Spirited Away.

You can get there by taking a bus up Arashiyama.

📍Adashino Nenbutsuji (11:00-12:00 AM)

This is a small bamboo forest reminiscent of Chikurin.

If you visit in the morning, the quiet and quiet surroundings make it perfect for taking photos that feel like you're visiting Chikurin.

🍜Azashino (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM)

This is a refined Japanese restaurant. They serve soba, tendon, and mini eel set meals. Most of the customers are locals, so you can really feel the Japanese atmosphere.

📍Arashiyama Chikurin (1:00 PM - 2:00 PM)

🎋This is a beautiful bamboo forest. It's a famous tourist destination, so it's crowded, but it's worth a visit.

🍵Chavaty Kyoto Arashiyama (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM)

This cafe is located across from Togetsukyo Bridge, in a relatively quieter Arashiyama neighborhood.
It's a great place to take a break.

📍Monkey Park (4:00 PM - 6:00 PM)

It's about a 30-minute hike, but you'll be rewarded with panoramic views of Kyoto and the chance to see monkeys roaming freely. 🙊 I remember being surprised when I first saw monkeys outside their cages.
