Most people visit Arashiyama just for the Bamboo Forest.
It’s my 2nd time in Arashiyama pero before kasi I was not able to explore the place well kasi limited time lang kasi I only joined a day tour from Osaka.
This time I made sure I get to visit as many temples as I can. I get to visit Tenryu-ji (a UNESCO World Heritage site), Hogon-in, Nison-in and my fave of them all Otagi Nenbutsu-ji ❤️. Wandered in Hozugawa River, dinaanan ang over hyped Arashiyama Bamboo Forest 😬 and sumakay sa SAGA Romantic Train (bucket list ko ito during Autumn 🍂 kasi super ganda).
I think I walked almost 22K steps, tiniis ang napakalamig na klima 🥶 (6 degrees) pero punong puno naman ng travel memories 🇯🇵🌏
