Cody Au YongThe Arashiyama Sagano Scenic Railway sightseeing trains depart from Torokko Saga Station, which is near JR Saga-Arashiyama Station. Trains can also be boarded at Torokko Arashiyama Station, or at Hozukyo. The one-way cost is 620 yen regardless of where you board, so you might as well go from terminus to terminus station.

E44***22Beautiful bamboo forest on the edge of Kyoto. It is a popular tourist destination, so tons of people during the day. I went twice on the same day (in December), once at 1pm (so many people) and again at 5pm (almost no one). You can take a rickshaw down a private path, but it's not necessary unless maybe you have kids. Although there are many people it is still a must do in Kyoto.Tips: go early or late in the day to avoid crowds. Walk through the park and riverside next to the bamboo forest.

HotelstayerNice looking temple in Kyoto but it is a bit touristy. It costs 500 yen to enter the site. It is not very big. You can take pictures from different angles.

sAviOr_07Busan Duyue Bridge, almost every time I come to Kyoto, I will come to Busan Duyue Bridge for a walk. This time, I will naturally come again. Look at the introduction: The Duyue Bridge is 155 meters long, spanning the Guichuan, which slowly flows through Busan. It is a famous attraction in Kyoto and can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the western hills. The beautiful bridge body shows the beauty of the traditional essence of Japanese aesthetics.

Marquis-HouUnintentionally developed niche attractions, except for some distance, very recommended! There are no recommended attractions in a book, but the weather is too hot, and the moss part has withered, so it is recommended to master the weather, and the weather is still available in mid-to-late September.

大女儿念_小女儿欢It's very good. There are not many people coming on Saturday. The aquarium is not big and you can finish the visit in half a day. There is also a dolphin show, which the children like very much. There is also a park at the gate. You can feel the weekend life of the Japanese people, which is good.
based on 21 reviewssAviOr_07Tenryuji Temple, a world cultural heritage, was last visited in 2017.
The first of the five mountains in Kyoto, there are 3 places where you need to buy tickets, buy as needed.
It is said that Tenryuji Temple was built for the resentful Emperor Go-Daigo, but I don't know if it is true or not. The cloud dragon painting in the Dharma Hall must be seen, and you cannot take pictures of the cloud dragon painting in the hall. The Caoyuan Touchi Garden has Zen aesthetics.
